Remarks. An endemic ground beetle species of Angola from which is known so far the male and female types (Straneo 1952). Both adults were sampled through pitfall trapping. The Mumbué specimen was collected in sandy whitish soil within a mixed open herbaceous/bush habitat close to the riverhead together with adults of the tiger beetle E. muata f. parallelestriata and the ground beetles S. lucidus strigiceps, E. intermedius, Systolocranius tibialis and Anthia convexipennis Putzeys, 1880. The Catota specimens were collected through pitfall trapping in sandy clayish reddish soil within a secondary open forest together with adults of some ground beetles (see S. lucidus remarks). It is a new record for the Bié Province.
