Remarks.
A
species known from
Angola
and
Namibia
(
Basilewsky 1977
, Insectoid.info 2017) with two subspecies (
jambanus
Basilewsky, 1977
and
ornatissimus
Basilewsky, 1977
), both restricted to the southern territory of
Angola
(
Basilewsky 1977
,
1986a
). Adults were found within an open secondary forest on sandy whitish soil together with some adults of tiger and ground beetles (see
S. lucidus strigiceps
remarks). The comments given to
G. congoensis lundanus
on mimicry associations between
Cicindelini
and
Graphipterini
can be reported also to this species (
Figs 6a, 6c
). It is a new record for the
Bié Province
.
