HT—MNHN, from Somalia: “ Makdischu ” [= Mogadishu]. Somalia.

Length 10–14 mm.

ISNB has seven specimens (3m, 4f) identically labeled “ Somalia ”, six of them identified by Janssens and one (f) by Gillet. The latter one bears the label “ SYNTYPE?”, but since the HT is at MNHN it would have to be a PT.
