DistributionDemocratic Republic of Congo; Uganda; Zimbabwe (Rousse et al. 2013); Kenya (new record) (Fig. 18A–B).
RemarksIn the original description, Rousse et al. (2013: 23) reported that the mesosoma is mostly black, with “ a longitudinal stripe on mesopleuron sometimes lightening to pale yellow ” (see Rousse et al. 2013: fig. 8e). However, the female specimens from Kenya here examined display a larger yellow area reaching the middle of the mesopleuron and extending to the mesosternum, at least partially (Fig. 17A–B).
The 67 specimens recorded from Kenya represent the first record for the country (Fig. 18A–B).
