Remarks.
A
species spread in
Angola
and
Namibia
(
Basilewsky 1959
, Insectoid.info 2017).
Basilewsky (1959)
reported that the species was distributed in the western and southwestern Angolan areas. The singleton male adult was found on sandy whitish soil within an open secondary forest together with some tiger beetles (see
G. alternatus
remarks). It is a new record for the
Bié Province
enlarging its distribution to the eastern territory of
Angola
.
