Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2) Bié.

Material examined. Chitembo (18 km SE) (13° 36´17.53´´ S, 16° 54´00.44´´ E, 1538 m alt., 302) (BIÉ), 30.X.2014, 1♂, LT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. A species known from Cameroon, Ivory Coast and D. R. of the Congo ( Basilewsky 1962, Insectoid.info 2017). Curioursly M. katangensis Burgeon, 1937 , the species reported to Angola by Basilewsky (1962), is referred neither in Ferreira catalogue (1965) nor in Insectoid.info (2017). The singleton male adult specimen of M. informicollis was collected by light trapping within an open secondary forest together with some other ground beetles (see S. angolense remarks). It is a new species record for Angola.
