* Arsinoe laevigata Basilewsky, 1970 View in CoL

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2) Bié.

Material examined. Cachingues-Chipica (13° 10´15.74´´ S, 16° 45´48.17´´ E, 1649 m alt., 281) (BIÉ), 2.IV.2014, 1♀, LT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. A species known to western and central Africa ( Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Central African Republic, D. R. of the Congo) (Basilewsky 1970, Serrano 2009, Insectoid.info 2017). The single female specimen fits well with the original description and with specimens from Guinea-Bissau. The adult specimen was collected by light trapping together with other ground beetles (see P. holosericus remarks). It is a new genus/ species record for Angola.
