* Siopelus (Neosiopelus) wrasei Facchini, 2012 View in CoL

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2) Bié.

Material examined. Catota (2,5 km S) (14° 00´37´´ S, 17° 24´00´´ E, 1532 m alt., 323) (BIÉ), 8‒17.XI.2015, 1♀, PF, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. A species described from Zimbabwe and Botswana (Facchini 2012). The single female adult fits well the original description, but without a male specimen it is with some reserve that we ascribe it to this species. The singleton adult was collected by pitfall trapping within an open secondary forest together with other ground beetles ( S. lucidus strigiceps , C. bipustulatus , A. pseudoangolensis and Atractonotus puncticollis Schle & Heinz, 2013 ). It is a new species record for Angola.
