| Abstract |
Angola is the seventh largest country in Africa (1,246,700 km2) and is located in the southwestern part of the continent. The country has three principal natural regions: 1) The coastal lowland; 2) Hills and mountains which occur at distances ranging from 20 km to 100 km inland; and, 3) The high plateau (“planalto”) which lies to the east of the hills and mountains and dominates Angola's territory. Angola exibiths one of the highest biodiversity in Africa. Ferreira (1965) registered approximately 3550 species/subspecies of beetles to the country, a number surely under the real picture of the alfa diversity of this country. Within those there are about 90 and 260 species+subspecies of Cetoniidae and Tenebrionidae registered to Angola. Some species already recorded to Angola are confirmed to the country also. Distribution of the new beetle records in Angola and some ecological notes are also presented. |
