Genus: Cypholoba

Name

Cypholoba alveolata (Brême, 1844) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Diagnosis

Apparent body length (ABL) 31–33 mm; one of the largest species of Cypholoba in RSA and the largest species that has the distinctive alveolate elytral punctures with reddish-orange pubescence at the bottom of the punctures (see Fig. 3). It can be separated from Cypholoba macilenta, Cypholoba notata, and Cypholoba oberthueri seruana by the lack of a white patch of setae across both elytral apices and from Cypholoba amatonga by its larger ABL (24–28 mm length in Cypholoba amatonga) and the differences in elytral surface sculpture mentioned in the key above. Some specimens have a patch of white setae on each elytron immediately adjacent to the scutellum, while others also have a patch of white setae on the scutellum and/or a line of white setae along the midline of the pronotum.

Materials examined

159 specimens from the following localities: RSA: Gauteng Province: Johannesburg, Moloto, Pienaars River Dam, Pretoria, Rosslyn, Zoutpan. KwaZulu/Natal Province: Duku duku, Durban, Ndumu, Pongola River, St. Lucia Bay, Umfolozi, Waterval, “E Zululand.” Limpopo Province: Bandelierkop, 25 km NE Ellisras, Farm Scrutton, Haenertsburg, Klein Letaba, 18 miles W Letaba Rest Camp, Letaba Rest Camp in Kruger National Park, Marblehall, Messina, Mokeetse, Pietersburg, 22 miles E Pietersburg, 20-26 km N Pietersburg, Potgietersrus, Sedula near Leydsdorp, Shilouvane, Warmbath, Woodbush. Mpumalanga Province: Barberton, 3 km NW Barberton, Grootdraai, Lydenburg, Nelspruit, Nkuhlu Plots in Kruger National Park, Sabie River road west of Paul Kruger Gate, Skukuza. North West Province: Marico River, Rustenburg, Vryberg. Province not specified: “Transvaal.”

Notes on biology

During our surveys (see Materials and Methods above), adults of this species were found in riverine and upland areas of the Kruger National Park. Specific vegetation communities (Gertenbach 1983[4]) where adults were collected included riverine gallery forest and upland Acacia nigrescens Olivier - Combretum apiculatum Sonder savanna. Adults were collected diurnally, in pitfall traps, and with headlamps at night.
