Semble frequent du Cameroun au Congo. Un petit exemplaire (Nimba, II-VI) differe du type (Cameroun) par la taille (1 1,8 au lieu de 15,2 mm.), la couleur noir-franc et non noirrougeatre, la sculpture abdominale plus forte. A part cela semblable, notamment par le thorax et le petiole plus larges que dans les autres especes. Les antennes donnent de bons caracteres specifiques: la fig. 5 represente un schema de la base des funicules. A cet egard, l'inedit suivant est remarquable:
