A wide spread species throughout Africa south of the Sahara, but only common in southern and eastern Africa (Werner 2000a). The genus Prothymidia Rivalier, 1957 is represented in Angola by 2 species (Serrano & Capela 2013). Prothymidia angusticollis (Fig. 8a), despite have been already recorded for several provinces of Angola (Serrano & Capela op. cit.) is a new record for Kwanza Sul and Bié provinces. The species occurs usually in savannah and open secondary forest habitats. The adults were found beneath the herbaceous vegetation in the edges of countryside roads or within the litter which covered the soil, running quickly when disturbed. Further adult specimens of tiger beetles were collected in the same habitats namely Dromica similis Cassola, 1980, Trichodela nubifera (Quedenfeldt, 1883), Lophyra (Stenolophyra) infuscatula (W. Horn, 1915), Lophyra (Stenolophyra) saraliensis (Guérin-Méneville, 1849) and Cylindera (Ifasina) agualusai sp. n. in Cachingues‒Chipica (Fig. 8b) or Dromica fredericoi Serrano & Capela, 2015, Dromica pentheri W. Horn, 1899, Dromica serietuberculata f. lundana Basilewsky, 1965, Trichotaenia pepetela sp. n., Lophyra (Stenolophyra) uncivittata (Quedenfeldt, 1883) and Cylindera (Ifasina) agualusai sp. n. in Catota (see Fig. 11 in Serrano & Capela 2015) or even Trichotaenia nzingae sp. n., Ophryodera rufomarginata poggei (Harold, 1878), Ophryodera smrzi Werner, 2005, Elliptica muata f. parallelestriata (W. Horn, 1923), L. (Stenolophyra) infuscatula, L. (Stenolophyra) saraliensis and Lophyra (Stenolophyra) sumlini Cassola, 1976 at Kakande.
