Lophyra (Stenolophyra) uncivittata (Quedenfeldt, 1883) View in CoL

Distribution in Angola (provinces): 1) Malanje, Benguela, Huambo, Huíla; 2) Bié.

Material examined: Mumbué (coord.: 13º 50´30.56´´ S, 17º 18´47.26´´ E, 1578 m alt., 303) ( BIÉ), 2.XI.2014, 2♂, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano leg., ASC; Catota (coord.: 14º 00´37.17´´ S, 17º 24´00.33´´ E, 1532 m alt., 323) ( BIÉ), 2.XI.2014, 1♂, 1♀, 3.XI.2014, 2♂, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC; Mumbué (coord.: 13º 51´44.99´´ S, 17º 24´41.16´´ E, 1573 m alt., 303) ( BIÉ), 3.XI.2014, 2♂, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano leg., ASC.

Remarks. A species with a distribution throughout People`s Republic of Congo, D. R. of the Congo, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi ( Werner 2000b, 2003). It seems to occur such as in clay soils as in sandy soils ( Wellman & Horn 1908, Serrano & Capela 2013). The adults were found during day in countryside roads with withish sandy soils within open secondary forests. Further adult specimens of other tiger beetle species occur in syntopy in Catota (see P. angusticollis ecological remarks). It is a new record for Bié province.
