Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2) Bié.

Material examined. Chitembo (10 km N) (13° 22´40.78´´ S, 16° 41´58.07´´ E, 1666 m alt., 282) (BIÉ), 1.XI.2014, 1♀, LT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. A species widespread throughout western, central, southern and eastern Africa ( Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Ivory Coast, D. R. of the Congo, South Africa R., Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania) ( Serrano 2009, Insectoid.info 2017). The singleton female specimen fits well the original description and is similar to Guinea-Bissau specimens (see Serrano 2009). The adult specimen was collected by light trapping within an open secondary forest together with a tiger beetle ( L. sumlini ) and ant nest beetles [ Heteropaussus trapezicollis (Wasmann,1922) , Paussus (Spinicoxipaussus) cridae Gestro, 1915 ] (see Serrano & Capela 2015a, 2015b). It is a new species record for Angola.
