Remarks. A species widespread throughout western, central and eastern Africa ( Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, D. R. of the Congo, Angola, Zambia, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda) ( Putzeys 1880, Insectoid.info 2017). The species was described by Putzeys (1880) from Angola under the name Platynus calefactus without information on localities. The species is very abundant in Calulo region and the adult specimens were found within litter or collected by pitfall trapping in secondary rainforests together with other tiger and ground beetles (see A. distinctus remarks). It is a new record for the Kwanza Sul and Huambo Provinces.
