Lophyra

Description

Lophyra (s. str.) neglecta intermediola (W. Horn, 1921)

Distribution in Angola (provinces): 1) Luanda; 2) Kwanza Sul.

Material examined: Cambambe (coord.: 9º 45´27.15´´ S, 14º 30´38.15´´ E, 111 m alt., 109) (KWANZA SUL), 6.XI.2014, 2♂, DO, A. Serrano leg., ASC.

Remarks. A subspecies more common and widespread throughout Central-southern and eastern Africa (Werner 2000b). The adults were observed in Cambambe close to the clay-sandy edges of the Kwanza River (Fig. 9 d). In this habitat, adults of Habrodera nilotica Dejean, 1825 occur also, but they search for prey closer to the river water than L. neglecta intermediola. It is a new record for Kwanza Sul province.
