Taxonavigation
Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Carabidae
Genus: Cypholoba
Name
Cypholoba notata (Perroud, 1846) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Diagnosis
Apparent body length (ABL) 21–23 mm; elytral surface sculpture distinctive with the entire apical third lacking the rows of punctures and costae found on the more basal portions of the elytra. The lateral elytral costae are longer than the costae on mid-disc or the suture. The patterns of pubescence vary in this species; some specimens possess white linear bands of setae on the head, pronotum, and base of the elytra while other specimens lack these bands (Figs 14, 15). We have also examined highly abraded specimens that lack all of the elytral and pronotal setae but in these specimens the elytral surface sculpturing is still diagnostic.
Materials examined
96 specimens from the following localities: RSA: Gauteng Province: Malvern, Pretoria. KwaZulu/Natal Province: Empangeni, 30 miles N of Empangeni, Hluhluwe, Maritzburg, Mkuze, “Natal,” Ntambanana, Pinetown, Pongola, Pongola River, St. Lucia Bay, Thorny Bush, Ubombo Mountains, Weenen, “Zululand,” “E. Zululand.” Limpopo Province: Koedoes Rivier, Sedula near Leydsdorp, Shilouvane, Thabina, Zoutpansberg. Mpumalanga Province: Barberton, Grootdraai, Lydenburg, Nelspruit, Sabie River bank west of Paul Kruger Gate, Waterval River Pass. Northern Cape Province: Kimberley. North West Province: Marico River, Vryburg.
Notes on biology
We observed adults of this species running along dirt roads in bright sunshine through open Combretum apiculatum – Acacia nigrescens savanna in close proximity to the Sabie River in the Kruger National Park, RSA.
