Remarks.
A species restricted to
Angola
and
Namibia
(
Werner & Wiesner 1995
). A
neotype
based on one specimen deposited in Museu Zoológico da Universidade de Coimbra,
Portugal
, was designated recently (
Serrano & Capela 2013
). Adults (Fig. 8f) occurs mostly south of
Luanda
toward the Cuanza River in open bush habitat with giant
Adansonia digitata
trees and sparse grassy vegetation on sandy yellow-reddish soil (Fig.
8g
). Conspecific larvae of second and third instars (L2 and L3) can be observed in the same habitat in hunting activity (Fig. 8h) after the occurrence of the imagos, a month later (sympatric and allochronic with the adults).
