Remarks: A widespread species throughout western and north-eastern Africa (Lorenz 2021). It was recorded previously for the old “ Guinée portugaise ” by LaFerté-Sénectère (1849). Brivio (1957) and Serrano (2009a) later recorded the other species of the Cymindoidea Laporte de Castelnau, 1831 genus ( C. virgulifera Chaudoir, 1875) known from Guinea-Bissau. The adult specimens from Mampatá Forea-Nhocobá reported in Serrano (2009a) as C. virgulifera actually belong to C. bisignata . The adult specimens were sampled by LT within open secondary forests at the beginning of the wet season (Table 1). It is a new species record for GAB and TOB Administrative Regions, Guinea-Bissau.
