Material examined. Cambamba (Catoio-Quela) (09° 14´42´´ S, 17° 00´33´´ E, 1178 m alt., 115) (MALANJE), 20.XI.2015, 1♂, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps ; Santa Maria (=Quiluanje) (8° 55´14´´ S, 15° 58´42´´ E, 1157 m alt., 94) (MALANJE), 19.XI.2015, 1♂, 2♀, DO, A. Serrano & R.

Remarks. The nominal species is known from D. R. of the Congo and Zambia ( Basilewsky 1977, 1986b) and the subspecies G. ellipticus upembanus Basilewsky, 1977 from the same countries plus Tanzania (Basilewsky op. cit.). Adult specimens collected in Malanje province fit well the nominal species description. Adults were found within open secondary forests together with tiger and ground beetles [Cambamba (Catoio-Quela) and Carima: see S. vilhenai and C. convexicollis remarks, respectively]. It is a new species record for Angola.
