Type locality. Lamto , Ivory Coast .
Distribution. Ivory Coast ( Gillon & Roy 1968; Roy 1975).
Records. CSC: ♀ + juv. ♁, new station, 22.IV.–06.VI.2018, M. Pohl leg.
Remarks. This species seems to be endemic to the Ivory Coast. A photographic record is also known from Taï NP. Nymphs and adult females are formidable ant mimics, mimicking various ant species during development, from Camponotus acvapimensis to Megaponera analis . At Lamto, the species is apparently trivoltine, with record maxima in March, July, and December (Roy 1975).
