Abacetus (Distrigodes) monardianus Straneo, 1952 View in CoL

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) Benguela, Moxico; 2) Bié.

Material examined. Satchijamba-Somakwanza (13° 44´46.50´´ S, 17° 11´2.26´´ E, 1611 m alt., 303) (BIÉ), 2.XI.2014, 1♀, LT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. An endemic ground beetle species of Angola from which is known so far the male type ( Straneo 1952) and a second specimen (unknown sex) from Calundo Lake ( Straneo 1959). The specimen fits very well with the original description and was captured by light trapping within a secondary open forest together with ground and ant nest beetles ( M. guineensis , P. vanrooni , P. chappuisi ). It is a new record for the Bié Province.
