No full textTrichodela nubifera (Quedenfeldt, 1883) Distribution in Angola (provinces): 1) Lunda Norte, Malanje, Benguela and Huambo; 2) Bié. Material examined: Cachingues-Chipica (coord.: 13 º 10´15.74 ´´ S, 16 º 45´48.17 ´´ E, 1649 m alt., 281) (BIÉ), 1.XI.2014, 1♂, DO, A. Serrano leg., ASC. Remarks. A species found in southern D. R. of the Congo and Angola (Werner 2000 b). The genus Trichodela is represented in Angola by a single species. It is well spread throughout northeastern and central provinces (Serrano & Capela 2013), being a new record for Bié province. We found the adult running in savannah on whitish sandy soil of a countryside road (Fig. 8 b) together with some adults of other tiger beetles (see P. angusticollis ecological remarks).Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.

The adults were found beneath the herbaceous vegetation in the edges of countryside roads within savanah (Cachingues-Chipica) or open secondary forest (Kakande). Further adults of other tiger beetle species are syntopic in the same habitats (see P. angusticollis ecological remarks for both localities).Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.

A species restricted to Angola and Namibia (Werner & Wiesner 1995). A neotype based on one specimen deposited in Museu Zoológico da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal, was designated recently (Serrano & Capela 2013). Adults (Fig. 8 f) occurs mostly south of Luanda toward the Cuanza River in open bush habitat with giant Adansonia digitata trees and sparse grassy vegetation on sandy yellow-reddish soil (Fig. 8g). Conspecific larvae of second and third instars (L 2 and L 3) can be observed in the same habitat in hunting activity (Fig. 8 h) after the occurrence of the imagos, a month later (sympatric and allochronic with the adults).Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.

A tiger beetle species with a distribution throughout the sandy seashores of the western African countries (Jaskuła & Cassola 2005; Serrano 2007). Habrodera nitidula is a sandy seashore species occurring sympatrically with Habrodera cabinda (Bates) in some Angolan localities (see Serrano & Capela 2013). The adults (Fig. 9 e) were found in hunting activity on the infralitoral level of the beach, running or flying quikly for the upper part (medio or supralitoral) when disturbed. However, in Cabo Ledo the species was found just behind the beach in the mud edges of large ponds (Fig. 9 f). It is a new record for Bengo province.Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.

Remarks. A species with a distribution throughout D. R. of the Congo, People`s Republic of Congo and Angola (Werner 2000 b). There is some controversy in considering L. obliquograciliaenea as a synonym of Lophyra reliqua Barker, 1920. Some authors (e.g. Rivalier 1948; Basilewsky 1955) consider the former species a junior synonym of the latter. Although Wiesner (1992) and Werner (2000 b) keep both species in their works. Without a deep study to solve this intricate problem, the question remains open. Moreover both species have been described in the same year, making their eventual synonymy a rather difficult problem. Until this matter is resolved, we maintain with some reserves the current status for the specimens sampled by us. The adults (Fig. 8 d) were found in small sand patches within reeds immediately beyind the edges of a rivulet (Fig. 8 e). It is a new record for the Bié and Huíla provinces.Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.
