Cymindoidea bisignata (Dejean, 1831) View in CoL

Distribution: GAM, GBI, GUI, RCA, RCH, RCI, SEN, SLN, SUD, TOG.

Distribution in Guinea-Bissau (Administrative Regions): 1)?; 2) GAB, TOB.

Historic records:

“ Guinée portugaise ” (without precise locality) ( LaFerté-Sénectère 1849);

Material examined: Mampatá Forea–Nhocobá ( TOB), 12-VII-2006, 1 male, 2 females, LT, A. Serrano leg., ASC; Béli (1,5 km W) ( GAB), 5.VII.2009, 1 male, LT, A. Serrano leg., ASC.

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 View TABLE 1 ). It is a new species record for GAB and TOB Administrative Regions, Guinea-Bissau.
