Remarks.
A
species known already to
Angola
without known localities (
Putzeys 1880, under the name
Platynus urens
) and with a distribution in southern and part of eastern Africa (
Angola
,
Botswana
,
South
Africa
,
Zimbabwe
and
Mozambique
) (
Basilewsky 1950b
, Insectoid.info 2017). The singleton adult was found on ground during night near public lights (e.g. see C.
rikatlensis
remarks). It seems a new record for the
Huambo Province
.
