Tetragonoderus quadrimaculatus Gory, 1833 View in CoL

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) Lunda Norte?; 2) Bié.

Material examined. Chitembo (10 km N) (13° 22´40.78´´ S, 16° 41´58.07´´ E, 1666 m alt., 282) (BIÉ), 1.XI.2014, 1♂, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. A species widespread throughout western, central and southern Africa ( Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Chad, Ivory Coast, Mali, Angola, D. R. of the Congo, South Africa R.) ( Serrano 2009, Insectoid.info 2017). It is with some reserve that we ascribe the singleton male adult specimen to this species. The apex of median lobe of aedeagus is slightly different of T. quadrimaculatus and more similar to the same organ of T. quadrum (Fabricius, 1792) . However, this species is distributed on northern territories of Africa. The adult specimen was found in a country road within an open secondary forest. It is a new record for the Bié Province.
