| Popis: | * Oplostomus fuligineus (Olivier, 1789) (Fig. 5e) Distribution: ANG, DOC, GBI, KEN, MOZ, NAB, NIG, RSA, SEN, ZAM, ZIM. Distribution in Guinea-Bissau (Administrative Regions): 2) OIO. Historic records: none. Material examined: Farim (OIO), 19.VI.1992, 1 ♂, P. Mendo��a leg., PMC (N�� 12278) in MUHNAC (N�� 23256). Remarks. Despite the species presents a wide distribution in Africa (e.g. Schenkling 1921, Gomes Alves 1959, see Oldroyd & Allsopp 2017 also), it was not recorded for GBI until now. The adult specimen of Farim examined was erroneously identified as Diplognatha gagates (Forster, 1771) (det. P. Mendo��a). The species is known as the ���Large Hive Beetle��� and 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, life cycle and several aspects of its biology was provided by Donaldson (1989) and Oldroyd & Allsopp (2017). The last authors noticed that the species have potential to become invasive and highly damaging to beekeeping worldwide. It is a new genus/species record for Guinea-Bissau.
