Remarks.
An endemic ground beetle species of
Angola
from which is known so far the male
type
(
Straneo 1952
) and a second specimen (unknown sex) from Calundo Lake (
Straneo 1959
). The specimen fits very well with the original description and was captured by light trapping within a secondary open forest together with ground and ant nest beetles (
M. guineensis
,
P. vanrooni
,
P. chappuisi
). It is a new record for the
Bié Province
.
