Type locality: Central African Republic , Bangui The tip of the abdomen of the holotype in NHMUK is missing and was presumably dissected but lacks a corresponding slide or vial number. A specimen matching the holotype from D.R. Congo in ANHRT ( Fig. 22 ) displays a not dissimilar eighth sternite to that figured by Tams (1953 : Fig. 15 ) and is here treated as being conspecific although further material is required for confirmation .
