Material examined. Bembua-Camenhe (12° 16´53´´ S, 15° 27´01´´ E, 1686 m alt., 231) (HUAMBO), 31.X.2015, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps ; Londuimbali-Tinguita (12° 18´10´´ S, 15° 21´15´´ E, 1633 m alt., 231) (HUAMBO), 2.XI.2015, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. A species known only from Zimbabwe and Mozambique ( Basilewsky 1950b, Insectoid.info 2017). Adult specimens fit very well its description ( Péringuey 1904, Basilewsky 1950b) and were found within litter in open secondary forests together with some tiger and ground beetles (see S. lucidus strigiceps remarks). It is a new genus/species record for Angola.
