Distribution

Yemen (new record), Eritrea, Cameroon ( Nonveiller 1978).

Remarks

The coloration of the male’s mesosoma is variable from wholly ferruginous­red to ferruginous­red with black propodeum. The latter form has been described by Nonveiller (1978) from Cameroon and also occurs in Yemen, but most abundant in Yemen (147 specimens from 170) is the form with ferruginous­red propodeum. There are several specimens with intermediate propodeal castaneous coloration. Body length 4.8–8.8 mm.
