Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Carabidae
Genus: Cypholoba
Name
Cypholoba macilenta (Olivier, 1795) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Carabus macilentus Olivier (1795[1]:26, pl. 11 f. 130, type locality “Cap de Bonne-Espérance,” holotype in Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris)
- Polyhirma macilenta (Olivier) Péringuey (1896[2]:348)
- Cypholoba macilenta (Olivier) Strohmeyer (1928[3]:335)
Diagnosis
Apparent body length (ABL) 20–23 mm; similar to Cypholoba notata and Cypholoba oberthueri but differing from both species in the length of the elytral costae. The elytral costae are roughly equal in length in Cypholoba macilenta (see Fig. 17) while the lateral costae are distinctly longer than those on the disc in Cypholoba notata and Cypholoba oberthueri (see Figs 18–21). Adults could potentially also be confused with Cypholoba amatonga but that species lacks the patch of white pubescence at the apex of the elytra and the apical portion of the elytra is more rugosely punctate, not flat and strongly shining as in Cypholoba macilenta.
