It was described from a single female from South Africa and is here newly recorded from Zaire ( Democratic Republic of Congo) based on the male listed below. This male is identified as pomeroyi View in CoL by having the fore ocellus clearly overhanging the base of the antennae ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 13–23 ). The fore femur of this male has a small tubercle at the apex ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 13–23 ).
