Agonidium natalense View in CoL ((Boheman, 1848)

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) Unknown; 2) Huambo.

Material examined. Caála (12° 51´11´´ S, 15° 33´07´´ E, 1758 m alt., 256) (HUAMBO), 4.XI.2015, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC. GoogleMaps

Remarks. A species known already to Angola without known localities ( Putzeys 1880, under the name Platynus urens ) and with a distribution in southern and part of eastern Africa ( Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique) ( Basilewsky 1950b, Insectoid.info 2017). The singleton adult was found on ground during night near public lights (e.g. see C. rikatlensis remarks). It seems a new record for the Huambo Province.
