Calosoma (Calosoma) senegalense Dejean, 1831

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) Unknown; 2) Benguela. Material examined. Lobito (12 ° 21´S, 13 ° 33´E, 10 m alt., 227/8) (BENGUELA), 3.IV.1998, 1♀, PF, A. Neves leg., ASC.

Remarks. A species widespread throughout Africa south of Sahara, Cape Vert Islands and Madagascar ( Häckel et al. 2016). It was already cited to Angola ( Häckel et al. 2016, Insectoid.info 2017), but without exact data. The single female adult was collected by pitfall trapping in an open bush habitat with sparse grassy vegetation on sandy-clayey yellow-reddish soil in the outskirts of Lobito together with some other ground beetles (see B. apicalis remarks).
