Cypholoba rohani

Description

Cypholoba rohani (Bénard, 1921)

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) Cuando Cubango; 2) Bié.

Material examined. Chingueia-Mandongue (13° 35´46´´ S, 16° 58´59´´ E, 1648 m alt., 302) (BI), 9. XI.2015, 1 ♂, 2♀, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC; Munquengue (14° 42´01´´ S, 17° 24´14´´ E, 1440 m alt., 343) (CUANDO CUBANGO), 14. XI.2015, 2 ♀, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC.

Remarks. An endemic species of Angola described on the basis of one specimen from the Menongue region (not Huíla District, but Cuando Cubango Province) (Bénard 1921 in Kleinfeld & Puchner 2012). Ferreira (1965) reported “distrito do Moxico, Menong (=Menongue) (MP)”, which is not correct also. Adults were found in activity in open secondary forest (first locality) and bush savannah (second locality) on sandy withish soil together with some tiger and ground beetles (see S. lucidus strigiceps and G. limbatus remarks, respectively).
