Lissogenius ertli Moser, 1911

( Fig. 13h View FIGURE 13 )

Distribution: ANG, DOC.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) HUA; 2) BIE, MAL.

Historic records:

—Bailundo (HUA) ( Moser 1911).

— Angola (without locality) ( Ferreira 1965, Sakai & Nagai 1998).

New localities reported: Calucinga (coord. not available, 1766 m alt., 189) (BIE), 17.XI.2013, 1 ex., P. Schüle leg., PMC (P. Malec, personal communication) .

Material examined: Angola, 1 ex., Nº 1907 (blue label), old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC; Mumbué (5 km SE) (13º 53´55.86´´ S, 17º 23´12.68´´ E, 1622 m alt., 303) (BIE), 5.IV.2014 GoogleMaps , 2♀, DO, A. Serrano leg., ASC; Kibundi (08º 54´33.31´´ S, 16º 03´15.71´´ E, 1170m alt., 95) (MAL), 19.XI.2017 GoogleMaps , 1♂, LT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC.

Remarks. The species was originally described from Angola based on one specimen ( Moser 1911), but later was recorded for DOC ( Basilewsky 1956). Sakai & Nagai (1998) recorded the species for Cameroon and provided a photo of a specimen (Pl. 142, Fig. 32). However, considering the conformation of pronotum, it seems that the identification is incorrect. Our adult specimens fit very well the original description. While the Mumbué specimens were captured in rotten wood (e.g. Fig. 1d View FIGURE 1 ) with Formicidae (not identified), Zygentoma (not identified) and the ant nest

beetle Paussus (Crenatopaussus) scaliger Reichensperger, 1926 , the Kibundi specimen was collectd by LT, all in secondary open forests. Basilewsky (1956) provided some ecological remarks on Lissogenius which are according with our observations. Biological data are not available. It is a new record for the Malanje and Bié Provinces.
