Material examined.Alto Ventura (Faz. Monte Café) (Calulo) ( 9° 59´15´´ S, 14° 50´12´´ E, 1086 malt., 128) ( KWANZA SUL), 2.XII.2015, 1♂), 4.XII.2015, 1♂, 5.XII.2015, 1♂, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano& R. Capelaleg., ASC.
Remarks.The nominal species was described from Angola( Malanje) ( Quedenfeldt 1883) and has a distribution throughout Angolaand D. R. of the Congo( Häckel & Farkač 2012). Basilewsky (1987)described two subspecies, C. magnicollis discrepansfrom the Lulua region (D. R. of the Congo) and Zambiaand C. magnicollis inquilinusfrom Mayidi (D. R. of the Congo), giving the drawings of aedeagus apex (dorsal view) of the three taxa. Interestingly our Calulo specimens present the aedeagus apex similar to the C. magnicollis discrepans( Basilewsky 1987, Fig. 4c), enlarging its distribution to Angola. 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., A. distinctus, A. optimus]. It is a new record for the Kwanza SulProvince.
