Cypholoba graphipteroides monardi Burgeon, 1935

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) Huíla, Cunene; 2) Huambo.

Material examined. Cuima-Cusse (13° 22´52´´ S, 15° 30´15´´ E, 1583 m alt., 280) (HUAMBO), 5.XI.2015, 7♂, 3♀, 6.XI.2015, 1♂, 2♀, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC; Catata-Nova Monção (13° 25´59´´ S, 15° 21´22´´ E, 1607 m alt., 279) (HUAMBO), 6.XI.2015, 2♂, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC .

Remarks. The species is very polymorphic (differences in the setal patterns of the elytra), with fifteen recognized subspecies distributed mainly throughout central and eastern Africa (Lorenz 2005, Kleinfeld & Puchner 2012, Insectoid.info 2017). As referred by Mawdsley et al. (2012) “Many of these taxa are doubtfully distinct from the nominate form and the whole group is in need of a careful revision”, which is not the scope of this work. Cypholoba graphipteroides monardi seems proper to the south of Angola (Ferreira 1965). Adults were found in diurnal activity beneath litter and patches within open secondary forests together with other tiger and ground beetles (see S. vilhenai remarks). It is a new record for the Huambo Province.
