Material. USNM 1180264 View Materials , clitellate head fragment, Vembo , Gamba Complex, Gabon gardens around lab buildings at 2.74746° S, 9.99633° E, 10 m asl., 18 May 2008; S. James, G. Divina, G. Moussavou and L. Tchignoumba, colls GoogleMaps .

An African species that has been widely distributed by humans, intentionally and otherwise, it is probably not native to the Gamba complex. Intentional distribution has to do with its use in composting, but in the present case we suspect that its occurrence at the Vembo laboratory buildings area is related to horticulture.
