Pseudohyparpalus elegans Clarke, 1981 View in CoL

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) Huambo.

Material examined. Caála (12° 51´11´´ S, 15° 33´07´´ E, 1758 m alt., 256) (HUAMBO), 3.XI.2015, 1♂, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC. GoogleMaps

Remarks. An Angolan ground beetle endemic species ( Anichtchenko 2016, Insectoid.info 2017). The species was known until now by two type specimens from Luimbale, Mt. Moco at 1800-1900 m ( Clarke 1981). The singleton male fits very well the original description, including the aedeagus. The adult was collected on a wall near public lights with other ground beetles ( C. cupreocinctus , C. pulchelus , P. incrassatus , P. planicollis ).
