Trianogenius ferox
Description
Trianogenius ferox (Erichson, 1843)
Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) Benguela, Namibe, Huambo; 2) Bié.
Material examined. Cachingues (2 km E) (13° 04´54´´ S, 16° 46´08´´ E, 1647 m alt., 282) (BIÉ), 11.XI.2015, 1♂, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC.
Remarks. A species spread in Angola and Namibia (Basilewsky 1959, Insectoid.info 2017). Basilewsky (1959) reported that the species was distributed in the western and southwestern Angolan areas. The singleton male adult was found on sandy whitish soil within an open secondary forest together with some tiger beetles (see G. alternatus remarks). It is a new record for the Bié Province enlarging its distribution to the eastern territory of Angola.
