| Popis: | Oplostomus fuligineus (Olivier, 1789) (Fig. 14c) Distribution: ANG, DOC, KEN, MOZ, NAB, NIG, RSA, SEN, ZAM, ZIM. Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1)? Historic records: ��� Angola (without locality) (Ferreira 1965). Material examined: Angola, 1 ♀, N�� 1907 (blue label), old collection, box n�� XIV-83, MZUC. Remarks. The species seems to present a wide distribution in Africa (e.g. Schenkling 1921, Gomes Alves 1959, see Oldroyd & Allsopp 2017 also) and is known as the ���Large Hive Beetle���. The adults are associated with honey bees and paper wasps, while larvae and pupae live in dung (P��ringuey 1907; Scholtz & Holm 1985; Oldroyd & Allsopp 2017). The larvae description and life cycle were provided by Donaldson (1989) and Oldroyd & Allsopp (2017). A review on several aspects of its biology was also provided by these authors. The species seems to have potential to become invasive and highly damaging to beekeeping worldwide (Oldroyd & Allsopp 2017). Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.
