Megacephala megacephala

description: Megacephala megacephala (Olivier, 1790)
Geographic distribution: Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria and Chad.
Distribution in Guinea –Bissau: 11B, 19, 23, 28, 36.
Specimens sampled: Coli (Quebo), 10.VII.2006, 1 Ψ, “DO”, 15.VII.2006, 1 ɗ, “BL”, (AS).
Remarks: A Sahelian-Sudan western species, more xerophile than the other African forms of this genus (Basilewsky 1966). The adults have nocturnal activity and can be captured by or near light traps, normally during or just after rain fall. This species was recorded for the first time to Guinea-Bissau by Mandl (1956).

Other taxa included:
Alloproctoides remyi Marquet and Condé, 1950;
Alloproctoides xenochilus Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin and Condé, 1982;
Alloproctoides dawydoffi sineligulatus Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin and Condé, 1982;
Alloproctoides consonensis n. sp.
All members in Lophoproctidae are characterised by the absence of eyes, the morphology of antennomeres VII and VIII (being of equal length), 4 sensory cones reduced in size and simple claws. Ishii et al. (1999) provided a key to the 5 genera in Lophoproctidae based on the labrum structure and the number of sensilla on the antennomere VI. Five genera of the family are: Alloproctoides Marquet and Condé, 1950; Ancistroxenus Schubart, 1947; Lophoproctinus Silvestri, 1948; Lophoproctus Pocock, 1894; and Lophoturus Brolemann, 1931. Members from genus Alloproctoides are characterised by 0 or 1 pair of linguiform processes at the median cleft of labrum, and antennomere VI with 2 long thick bacilliform sensilla and 3–10 short thin bacilliform sensilla.
Genus diagnosis: Ommatidia absent. 13 pairs of legs. Body with 10 tergites, 9 pleural projections (Figs. 4A and 4B). Antennomere VI longest, VII and VIII equal length. 4 sensory cones reduced in size (Fig. 5A). Antennomere VI with conical sensillum located in posterior position, with 2 long thick bacilliform sensilla, and 3–5 short thin bacilliform sensilla located transversely (Fig. 5). Coxal gland absent. Leg claw simple. Pair of linguiform processes at median cleft of labrum, or absent (Fig. 4D).

Geographic distribution: Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea.
Distribution in Guinea –Bissau: 8, 11B, 14, 20, 21, 28, 32, 36, 45.
Specimens sampled: Coli (Quebo), 6.VII.2006, 1 ɗ, 12.VII.2006, 1 ɗ, 1 Ψ, 16.VII.2006, 3 ɗ, “DO”, (AS); Cufada, 8.VII.2006, 6ɗ, 4 Ψ, 17.VII.2006, 13 ɗ, 9 Ψ, “DO”, (AS); Guilege-Dolo, 11.VII.2006, 3 Ψ, “DO”, (AS).
Remarks: A polytipic species with a wide distribution in the northern-central territories of Africa from western (e.g. Senegal, Guinea-Bissau) to eastern countries (e.g. Ethiopia). The ssp. cursor seems restricted to the Guinea-Senegal region (Werner 1993, 2000a; Cassola 1998). In Guinea-Bissau the adults appear during the rainy season and can be found until the beginning of the dry season. During the rainy season, the adults when disturbed are easily observed running quickly to the edges of the footways across the forests, or even across the savannah. This fact corroborate the comments of Guérin-Méneville (1849) about the behaviour of these beetles: “Ces Cicindèles, qui ne volent pas, courent entre les herbes et cherchent à se cacher sous les touffes quand ou les poursuit”. Sometimes they are also attracted to light traps (Serrano 1995), and in the forest habitats they may be syntopic with Euryarthron festivum (Dejean) and Ropaloteres cinctus (Olivier).

Remarks: A western and central African species, recorded also for Sudan (Werner 2000a). Adults of E. festivum occur along the shaded paths and footways of open forests, flying or running into the forest when disturbed. They are syntopic with P. concinna cursor at some localities and with R. cinctus almost in all monitored localities at Guinea-Bissau.

Specimens sampled: Mampatá-Nhacobá, 12.VII.2006, 2 ɗ, “WL”, (AS).
Remarks: A species recorded for several countries of Africa throughout the northern, central and eastern regions. Apparently, and in accordance with Guérin-Méneville (1849), the adults of this species have the same behaviour of P. concinna cursor. However, we never found P. leprieuri during the day, it was always sampled at light (“BL” and “WL”).

Guinea-Bissau and People`s Republic of Congo.
Distribution in Guinea –Bissau: 36.
Specimens sampled: Coli (Quebo), 16.VII.2006, 1 ɗ, 1 Ψ, “DO”, (AS).
Remarks: A nice and small species with a disjoint distribution, known only for one locality in Guinea- Bissau. It was recorded for the first time to this country by Serrano (1997), occurring in a small savannah near the “tabanca” (= native village) of Alage Cabiro. In the fortnight of July of 1995 the adults were abundant in this habitat, but in the same period of 2006 only three adults were monitored in the same habitat. However, by the presence of hundreds of first instar larvae in the soil, we presume that the adults appeared sooner in 2006, probably at the end of May. P. vuilletorum, as was pointed out by Serrano (1997), was recorded erroneously for Senegal and Niger. Its presence in People`s Republic of Congo needs confirmation.

Geographic distribution: Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Mali, Sierra Leone, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, Ivory Coast, Uganda, People`s Republic of Congo and Kenya.
Distribution in Guinea –Bissau: 11B, 28, 34, 40, 41, 43, 44.
Specimens sampled: Cufada, 5.VII.2006, 2 ɗ, “DO”, (AS).
Remarks: A big and polymorphic species with a wide distribution throughout western and central regions of Africa. The adults, in Guinea-Bissau, are found mainly at the shaded paths and footways of the forests, sometimes together with E. festivum and R. cinctus. Unlike the anterior Mission, in which several specimens of this species (Serrano 1997) were sampled, during this one only the two sampled specimens were found. Apparently this seems an indication that populations of E. lugubris are probably being affected by the amelioration of their forested habitats.

Remarks: A species described from the old “ Guinea portugaise” (Guérin-Méneville 1849), but recorded later to several countries of Africa. Like M. Bocandé (in Guérin-Méneville 1849) we found this species only once near the edges of an inland moor (Serrano 1995). Werner (2000b) claims that it is a forest species and he captured the adults through light trapping in Ethiopia, as happened with us in Guinea-Bissau.

description: 21. Echiniscus tympanista Murray, 1911
Locus typicus: Scotland, Loch Morar.
Etymology: From Ancient Greek τυμπαΝΙΣτής (tympanista) = drummer, describing the knob-like distal portions of lateral and dorsal appendages Cd that resemble drumsticks. A noun in apposition.
Shortened description. Medium-sized (ca. 240 μm). Body appendage configuration A-B-Bl- C-Cl- Cd- D-Dl- Dd- E. Lateral and dorsal appendages Cd cirrous, with knob-like tips. Dorsolateral appendages formed as short spicules. Dorsal appendages Dd are spines. Dorsal plate sculpturing likely of the Diploechiniscus type, comprising two elements: “pellucid dots” and “dark perforation-like” (see Murray 1911). Dentate collar IV present. Claws with primary spurs.
Remarks: Never found again after the original description record, although attempts have been made to resample the type locality (Brian Blagden, pers. comm.). The presence of dorsolateral spicules signifies that E. tympanista does not belong in Echiniscus, but is likely related to Diploechiniscus (Gąsiorek 2023).

description: Ropaloteres flavosignatus (Castelnau, 1835)
Geographic distribution: Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Togo, Cameroon, Central African Republic, People`s Republic of Congo and Sudan.
Distribution in Guinea –Bissau: 6, 28, 35, 36, 42, 43, 44.
Specimens sampled: Buba, 5.VII.2006, 1 ɗ, “DO”, (AS); Cufada, 8.VII.2006, 1 Ψ, “DO”, (AS). Remarks: A big and beautiful species with variable yellow-orange markings in the elytra. It has a scattered distribution throughout the western and central regions of Africa. This species is not common in Guinea- Bissau, the adults occurring only in the shaded and moist paths and footways of the forests. The accelerated destruction of forests in Guinea-Bissau during the last decade for large scale cultivation of cashew tree stands has contributed to the decline, or even extinction, of local populations of R. flavosignatus in places where it has been previously found (e.g. Mampatá-Guilege, Mampatá-Cumbijã, Coli).
