Taxonavigation
Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Carabidae
Genus: Cypholoba
Name
Cypholoba alstoni (Péringuey, 1892a) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Polyhirma alstoni Péringuey (1892a[1]:14; type locality “British Bechuanaland,” syntype series in South African Museum, Cape Town)
- Cypholoba alstoni (Péringuey) Lorenz (2005[2]:513)
Diagnosis
Apparent body length (ABL) 23-24 mm; easily separated from all other species of Cypholoba in RSA by the lack of patterned pubescence on the elytra and the continuation of the rows of elytral punctures and costae until the elytral apices. The sympatric species Cypholoba fritschi is similar but is larger in ABL (25-31 mm in length) and its elytral costae become obsolete on the disc shortly after mid-elytron, leaving the apical third of the elytra almost entirely smooth.
Materials examined
107 specimens from the following localities: RSA: Northern Cape Province: Farm Brulpan, Marydale, Mata Mata, Niekerk’s Hope in Griqualand West, 30 km E Pofadder, 46 km N Pofadder, Tswalu Nature Reserve, Twee Rivieren.
