Cymophorus (Eucymophorus) spiniventris subsp. spiniventris spiniventris (Gory & Percheron 1833

Description

Cymophorus (Eucymophorus) spiniventris spiniventris (Gory & Percheron, 1833)

Distribution: ANG, CAM, EQG, NIG, SEN, SLN, TOG.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) LNO.

Historic records:

—Quango (=Cuango) (LNO) (Quedenfeldt 1884).

Material examined: none.

Remarks. The species is polytypic with four recognized subspecies (Schein 1954b; Holm & Marais 1992; Krajcik 2008a). The nominal subspecies is distributed in West Africa (Schein 1954b) and the Quedenfeldt (1884) record for Angola could be a misidentification of one of the other known subspecies which have a more southern distribution [Cymophorus (Eucymophorus) spiniventris quadrimaculatus Raffray, 1899 or Cymophorus (Eucymophorus) spiniventris rubronotatus Péringuey, 1885]. Biological and ecological data are not available for the species, but see general comments in Schein (1954b) and the remarks under the genus Coenochilus.
