Material examined. Caála ( 12° 51´11´´ S , 15° 33´07´´ E , 1758 m alt., 256) ( HUAMBO ), 4.XI.2015 , 1♀ , DO, A . Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC. Remarks. A species present throughout Arabian Peninsula and eastern and central-southern Africa ( Yemen , Eritrea , Somalia , Ethiopia , Kenya , Tanzania , Mozambique , Malawi , Rwanda , Burundi , D. R. of the Congo , Angola , Namibia , Zambia , Zimbabwe , Niger ) ( Basilewsky 1950a , Ferreira 1965 , Insectoid.info 2017). It is with some reserve that we ascribe to this species the sampled female singleton. It should be necessary a male to confirm this identification because there are some species belonging to this sg. with similar habitus (see Facchini 2012c ). The adult was found on ground during night near public lights together with several other ground beetles (see P. incrassatus remarks). It is a new record for the Huambo Province .
