status

 

Ophryodera rufomarginata poggei (Harold, 1878)

Distribution in Angola (provinces): 1) Lunda Norte, Lunda Sul; 2) Bié.

Material examined: Kakande (coord.: 12º 42´50.73´´ S, 16º 45´33.19´´ E, 1716 m alt., 233) ( BIÉ), 30.X.2014, 2♂, 4.XI.2014, 1♂, DO, A. Serrano leg., ASC.

Remarks. A subspecies distributed throughout D. R. of the Congo and north-eastern Angola ( Werner 2000b). The adults appear isolate and were found hunting in a countryside road, flying quickly into the open secondary forest as soon as they perseive a threat from many meters away. Further adults of other tiger beetles are syntopic with O. rufomarginata poggei (see P. angusticollis ecological remarks for Kakande). It is a new record for the Bié province.
