Distribution in Guinea-Bissau (Administrative Regions):
1)?; 2) GAB, TOB.
Historic records:
“Guinée portugaise” (without precise locality) (LaFerté-Sénectère 1849);
Material examined:
Mampatá Forea–Nhocobá (TOB), 12-VII-2006, 1 male, 2 females, LT, A. Serrano leg., ASC; Béli (1,5 km W) (GAB), 5.VII.2009, 1 male, LT, A. Serrano leg., ASC.
Remarks:
A widespread species throughout western and north-eastern Africa (Lorenz 2021). It was recorded previously for the old “Guinée portugaise” by LaFerté-Sénectère (1849). Brivio (1957) and Serrano (2009a) later recorded the other species of the
Cymindoidea
Laporte de Castelnau, 1831
genus (
C. virgulifera
Chaudoir, 1875
) known from Guinea-Bissau. The adult specimens from Mampatá Forea-Nhocobá reported in Serrano (2009a) as
C. virgulifera
actually belong to
C. bisignata
. The adult specimens were sampled by LT within open secondary forests at the beginning of the wet season (Table 1). It is a new species record for GAB and TOB Administrative Regions, Guinea-Bissau.
