Taxonavigation

Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Carabidae
Genus: Cypholoba

Name

Cypholoba fritschi (Chaudoir, 1883) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Diagnosis

Apparent body length (ABL) 25–31 mm; distinctive for its large body size and for the lack of patterned pubescence or setae on the elytra, although some specimens may have a small patch of yellow setae adjacent to the scutellum. As noted by Péringuey (1896)[3], there is also a tuft of pubescence on the scutellum. The elytral surface sculpture is also diagnostic, with the rows of costae becoming obsolete shortly after mid-elytron and the apical third smooth and strongly shining.

Materials examined

11 specimens from the following localities: RSA: Northern Cape Province: Niekerk’s Hope in Griqualand West, Twee Rivieren.

Notes on taxonomy

Strohmeyer (1928)[2] had placed this species as a subspecies of Cypholoba opulenta but as pointed out by Basilewsky (1948)[4] this is clearly an error as the two species are quite distinct and have different proportions, vestiture, and surface sculpture.
