Type locality. ‘Niam-Niam;communic.Dom.L. DUDA.’ The name Niam- Niam refers to homeland of Azande ethnic group (NE Democratic Republic of the Congo, S South Sudan, SE Central African Republic) ( ANONYMUS 2017). For more details, see explanation under Niamia angulosa .
Type material examined. SYNTYPE: 1 ♀ ( HNHM), ‘Africa / (Niam-Niam) [hw, pink label] // princeps [Horváth’s hw, underlined in red hw] / det. Horváth [p]’ (pinned through scutellum, both distiflagella and apex of right fore tarsus lacking) ( Figs 41–43 View Figs 38–49 ).
Current status. Junior synonym of Cryptacrus comes comes ( Fabricius, 1803) . LESTON (1954: 679) effectively synonymized all of the named varieties of this species by the following statement: ‘ Cryptacrus comes […] has four extreme colour forms (see SCHOUTEDEN 1903 for details) but intermediates are also found so that there is little point in retaining varietal names […]’.
