Siopelus (Neosiopelus) sp.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): Malanje.

Material examined. Carima (Cacuso-Pungandongo) (9° 35´00´´ S, 15° 42´01´´ E, 1117 m alt., 130) (MALANJE), 23.XI.2015, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC.

Remarks. The single female adult is quite similar to S. punctatellus , but with a shape of pronotum slightly different [anterior angles not protruding, anterior margin almost straight between angles and basal margin not sinuate at each side of the middle region). The adult was found in a set aside country road beneath litter within an open secondary forest together with adults of tiger and ground beetles [e.g. Dromica (Foveodromica) auropunctata Quedenfeldt, 1883 , P. angusticollis , T. nubifera , E. villosus , G. ellipticus ].
