Genus Coenochilus Schaum, 1841

The genus Coenochilus is very speciose with about 100 species distributed throughout the Afrotropical, Oriental and Palaearctic Regions ( Krajcik 2008b). Ethological and ecological remarks were provided by Serrano et al. (2020). Schein (1954a) revised the 41 African species known by that time and defined seven groups within the genus. There are about 48 species recognized for Africa ( Schoolmeesters 2019), one of them previously recorded for Guinea- Bissau ( Brivio 1958). I provide three new species records for this country.
