A common species widespread throughout Africa south of Sahara ( Ferreira 1965 , Anichtchenko 2016 ), but also present in South America ( Argentina , Brazil , Uruguay ) (Insectoid.info 2017) where was introduced probably by means of the nautical slave trade held between Africa (e.g. Luanda ) and Brazil (e.g. Salvador ) during the XVI‒XVII centuries. Adults were found on ground during night near public lights (first locality) together with some other ground beetles [e.g. S. guineense , C. intermedius , C. rikatlensis , C. cupreocinctus , C.. tenuicollis , Progonochaetus planicollis ( Putzeys, 1880 ) , Platymetopus pseudocrenulatus Facchini, 2016 , Agonidium natalense (Boheman, 1848) , Agonidium alacre (Boheman, 1848) , E. peringuey , E. intermedius ] or on soil beneath litter (second locality).
