Adults were found in activity within the litter of secondary rainforests together with adults of some tiger and ground beetles [e.g. Dromica (Foveodromica) sp., Hipparidium interruptum (Fabricius, 1775) , Abacetus optimus Péringuey, 1904 , Disphericus tarsalis Bates, 1886 , Craspedophorus magnicollis discrepans Basilewsky, 1987 , Galerita procera capelai ssp. n.] and collected also by pitfall trapping in the same habitats. It is a new record for the Kwanza Sul Province.
