Treatment

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) Huíla, Cuando-Cubango, Lunda Norte, Lunda Sul; 2) Huambo, Bié.

Material examined. Cachingues-Chipica (13° 10´15.74´´ S, 16° 45´48.17´´ E, 1649 m alt., 281) (BIÉ), 2.IV.2014, 1♂, LT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps ; Caála (12° 51´11´´ S, 15° 33´07´´ E, 1758 m alt., 256) (HUAMBO), 5.XI.2015, 1♂, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. A very common species widespread throughout all Africa south of Sahara, including Madagascar, Comoros and Seychelles islands ( Serrano 1999c, Anichtchenko 2016, Insectoid.info 2017). Adults were collected by means of light trapping within an open secondary forest (Cachingues-Chipica) and on a wall near public lights (Caála) together with other ground beetles [Cachingues-Chipica: S. ludricus , A. natalensis ; Caála: C. deyrollei , C. pulchelus , Parophonus integer ( Péringuey, 1896) ]. It is a new record for the Huambo and Bié Provinces.
