Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Carabidae
Genus: Cypholoba
Name
Cypholoba seruana Strohmeyer, 1928 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Cypholoba semisuturata seruana Strohmeyer (1928[1]:337, type locality “Ost-Betschuanaland,” one syntype from “Sogosse” the other syntype from “Serue” in Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin)
Diagnosis
Apparent body length (ABL) 21–24 mm; similar in appearance to Cypholoba macilenta and Cypholoba notata but differing from both species in the length of the elytral costae (as noted in the key) and the elytral proportions which are somewhat longer and narrower in Cypholoba oberthueri seruana than in the other two species. This is apparently a rare form, at least in collections; it is known at present from two localities in Botswana and the nominate subspecies is known only from Zimbabwe (Strohmeyer 1928[1]).
Materials examined
1 specimen from the following locality: RSA: Free State, Allemanskraal.
