This species resembles -Oberthuerella abscinda +Oberthuerella abscinda and -Oberthuerella crassicornis +Oberthuerella crassicornis , and can be separated from the former by having yellow/orange legs ( -Oberthuerella abscinda +Oberthuerella abscinda with dark brown/black legs), and the latter by the morphology of the median keel of the face mentioned above. - -Distribution. -Democratic Republic of Congo; Gabon; Ivory Coast; Malawi.
