Distribution in Angola (provinces): 2) Bié.
Material examined: Kakande (coord.: 12º 42´50.73´´ S, 16º 45´33.19´´ E, 1716 m alt., 233) (BIÉ), 30.X.2014, 13♂, 6♀, 4.XI.2014, 8♂, 4♀, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC; Chitembo (coord.: 13º 22´40.78´´ S, 16º 41´58.07´´ E, 1666 m alt., 281) (BIÉ), 1.XI.2014, 1♂, LT, A. Serrano leg., ASC.
Remarks. A species with a distribution throughout D. R. of the Congo, Uganda and Zambia (Werner 2000b, 2003). Numerous adults (Fig. 9a) were found in hunting activity in a countryside road with whitish sandy soil within an open secondary forest. Further tiger beetle species occur in syntopy (see P. angusticollis ecological remarks for Kakande). One adult was attracted to the light trapping (Chitembo), but in the same area, during daytime, we did not detect any individual. It is a new record for the Angolan tiger beetle fauna.
