Stanleyville, [[worker]] (Lang and Chapin); Lubutu, [[worker]]; Thysville, [[worker]] (J. Bequaert), Five specimens which agree perfectly with Santschi's description of the types from the French Congo. Kohl found this species nesting in the hollow twigs of Barteria fistulosa and Bequaert's specimens from Thysville bear the note, " running on leaves and twigs of Barteria fistulosa whose cavities were apparently not inhabited by ants. Forest gallery in savannah, I have not seen their nest."
