Remarks. A species spread throughout southern, central and part of eastern Africa ( Angola, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, Bostwana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique) ( Ferreira 1965, Kleinfeld & Puchner 2012). The species was recorded for Angola without any reference to a known locality ( Ferreira 1965). Adult specimens were found in nocturnal activity (first locality) and diurnal activity (second locality) within open secondary forests together with other ground beetles (first locality: see S. tenebricosus fatalis remarks) and the tiger beetles P. angusticollis , D. fredericoi , D. pentheri , Dromica serietuberculata W. Horn, 1929 , T. pepetela , L. uncivittata and C. agualusai (second locality) (see also Serrano et al. 2015). It is a new record for the Bi Province.
