Remarks. A species known from central, southern and part of eastern Africa (D. R. of the Congo, Souh Africa R., Burundi, Zimbabwe) (Basilewsky 1950b, Insectoid.info 2017). Adults fit very well its description, including the aedeagus features (Péringuey 1904, Basilewsky 1950b). Adult specimens were found within litter in an open secondary forest and in a secondary rainforest together with some other tiger and ground beetles (see S. vilhenai and O. gilvipes remarks for first and second localities, respectively). It is a new species record for Angola.
