* Brachyodes pseudoguineensis Lecordier, 1990 View in CoL

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 with a distribution throughout D. R. Congo and Burundi ( Lecordier 1990). It can be segregated from B. guineensis (Chaudoir, 1882) , to which is very close, by the smaller antennae and the unarmed mesosternum groove. The adult was sampled by light trapping within a secondary open forest together with some other ground beetles (see S. angolense remarks). It is a new genus/species record for Angola.
