Remarks.
A
species known from
South
Africa
R. and
Zimbabwe
(
Basilewsky 1950b
, Insectoid.info 2017). Adult specimens fit well the original description (
Péringuey 1896
). Adults of the first locality were found on ground during night near public lights (e.g. see C.
rikatlensis
remarks) and in the second locality beneath litter within an open secondary forest (e.g. see comments on
S. vilhenai
remarks), respectively. The Catota adult specimen was collected by pitfall trapping together with other ground beetles (see
S. wrasei
remarks). It is a new species record for
Angola
.
