- Lophyra (Bothryolophyra) wellmani (W. Horn, 1907) Distribution in Angola (provinces): 1) Benguela, Huambo, Huíla. Material examined: Cruzeiro (Pedra do Alemão) (coord.: 12 o 46 ́41.14 ́ ́ S, 15 o 54 ́09.49 ́ ́ E, 1743 m alt., 232) (HUAMBO), 30.X.2014, 5♂, 6 ♀, 4.XI.2014, 5♂, 6 ♀, DO, A Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC. Remarks. A very small Lophyra species, endemic of Angola. The ecological remarks given by Wellman & Horn (1908) are in line with our observations. The adults (Fig. 9 b) were found on bare paths of clayey soil covered with litter within an open bush (see Fig. 13 in Serrano & Capela 2015). The colour of the beetle matches very well the substratum and they move like ants. Another species of tiger beetle, Foveodromica strandi (W. Horn, 1913), was found in the same habitat (see Serrano & Capela 2015).
