Remarks

Male unknown. According to Dessart (1966), only three female syntypes of A. origenus are known. The syntypes were, like many of our species, collected at Mt. Kilimanjaro ( Tanzania).As the male is unknown, we cannot compare this species to ours but we list here some characters of A. origenus that might help in future revisions of Afrotropical species of Aphanogmus : A. origenus has comparatively bright joints and tarsi, a distinct preoccipital carina, a median mesoscutal sulcus, a short anteromedian projection of the metanoto-propodeo-metapecto-mesopectal complex and quite indistinct basal longitudinal carinae on the syntergum.

Biology

Unknown.

Distribution

Afrotropical: Tanzania (Mount Kilimanjaro).

Type depository

The types are deposited in the MNHN.
