a. s. l. (within a range of approximately two km). The forest was only slightly disturbed by logging, and the low shrub canopy was relatively thick. In the early morning, the males were sitting on wet leaves and were collected by a sweeping net. They were very active, flying briskly in the net. All specimens were incompletely sclerotized, possibly due to the short time since hatching. Despite intensive collecting in the same place, about two weeks later, no additional specimens were found. The host ant remains unknown.
