EF3F363BFF84FFA853BBEBE9FE31FED1.taxon	discussion	Browsing through the Cydnidae material borrowed several years ago from the Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren (Belgium), two females of this species collected in the Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire) were found. Ch. quadraticollis can be easily recognised among all Afrotropical species of the genus Chilocoris Mayr, 1865 by its pronotum shape, i. e., its lateral margins have distinct insinuation at mid-length (Fig. 1).	en	Lis, Jerzy A.

EF3F363BFF84FFA853BBEBE9FE31FED1.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined: one female: Dans nid de Myrmicaria; Coll. Mus. Congo, Kivu: Butembo, terr. Lubero 1740 m., R. P. M. J. Célis, XI- 1955; one female: Congo belge: Kivu, Kinyamahura (Djomba), 1800 m., 23 - viii- 1934, G. F. de Witte: 551.	en	Lis, Jerzy A.

EF3F363BFF84FFA853BBEBE9FE31FED1.taxon	biology_ecology	Remarks on biology: What was very important was that one female was sampled from an ant nest of a species representing the genus Myrmicaria Saunders, 1842 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae). However, our knowledge of burrower bugs associated with ants was very limited, as only two cydnid species representing the genus Amnestus Dallas, 1851 (Cydnidae: Amnestinae) were hitherto reported in association with ants in Brazil (Froeschner 1975). Therefore, it was impossible to state whether Ch. quadraticollis habitually shared the nest of a species of ant and could be regarded as a myrmecophile (Kronauer & Pierce 2011), or were only an occasional inhabitant of the anthill.	en	Lis, Jerzy A.

EF3F363BFF84FFA853BBEBE9FE31FED1.taxon	distribution	Distribution (Fig. 2): The species was known until now only from a single locality in the Republic of the Congo (Linnavuori 1993); its two additional localities were herein, for the first time, reported from the Democratic Republic of Congo.	en	Lis, Jerzy A.
