Historic records: none.

Material examined: Angola, 1 ex., Nº 1907 (blue label), old collection, box nº IX-78, MZUC .

Remarks. The adult specimen of MZUC despite be very old and damaged ( Fig. 13g View FIGURE 13 ), fits well this species description. The adults are generally associated with ants or termits, but the larvae can be found on decaying organic matter. Malec & Šípek (2016) refer that it is possible to rear adults from wild larvae. It is a new genus/species record for Angola.
