A synopsis of the genus Cypholoba Chaudoir (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Anthiini) known to occur in the Republic of South Africa Author Mawdsley, Jonathan R. Author Erwin, Terry L. Author Sithole, Hendrik Author Mawdsley, Alice S. text ZooKeys 2012 181 23 43 http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.181.2984 journal article http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.181.2984 1313-2970-181-23 Cypholoba oberthueri seruana Strohmeyer, 1928 Figs 21 31 Cypholoba semisuturata seruana Strohmeyer (1928 :337, type locality "Ost-Betschuanaland," one syntype from "Sogosse" the other syntype from "Serue" in Museum fuer Naturkunde, Berlin) Diagnosis . Apparent body length (ABL) 21-24 mm; similar in appearance to Cypholoba macilenta and Cypholoba notata but differing from both species in the length of the elytral costae (as noted in the key) and the elytral proportions which are somewhat longer and narrower in Cypholoba oberthueri seruana than in the other two species. This is apparently a rare form, at least in collections; it is known at present from two localities in Botswana and the nominate subspecies is known only from Zimbabwe ( Strohmeyer 1928 ). Materials examined. 1 specimen from the following locality: RSA: Free State, Allemanskraal.
