Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Carabidae
Genus: Cypholoba
Name
Cypholoba aenigma (Dohrn, 1881) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Anthia aenigma Dohrn (1881[1]:326, type locality not indicated, type material originally in Natural History Museum, Stettin, and apparently destroyed in World War II)
- Polyhirma aenigma (Dohrn) Péringuey (1896[2]:343-344, pl. 4 f. 6)
- Cypholoba gracilis aenigma (Dohrn) Strohmeyer (1928[3]:303)
- Cypholoba aenigma (Dohrn) Strohmeyer (1928[3]:447)
Diagnosis
Apparent body length (ABL) 15–17 mm; similar in size, body proportions, and surface sculpturing to smaller individuals of Cypholoba gracilis but easily separated from that species by its patterned elytral pubescence (Fig. 19) and smaller body size (adults of all subspecies of Cypholoba gracilis are 17–22 mm in ABL). Adults are also superficially similar to those of species in the genus Eccoptoptera Chaudoir but in species of that genus the pronotum is broadly rounded and markedly convex (Péringuey 1896[2]; Strohmeyer 1928[3]).
Materials examined
84 specimens from the following localities: RSA: KwaZulu/Natal Province: Entabeni. Limpopo Province: Haenertsburg, Moddernek, Pietersburg, Shilouvane, Woodbush, Wylie’s Poort.
