In Tribe AMBLYOPONINI.
Diagnostic Features - Petiole broadly attached to the first gastral segment, the two separated dorsally and laterally only by a constriction; so that the petiole is without a free posterior face. Mandibles relatively short triangular and closing against the clypeus. Antenna 9-segmented with a strongly defined 4-segmented club. Alitrunk in dorsal view marginate and denticulate anteriorly, and strongly constricted from side to side in front of the metanotal groove.
Genus described by Brown (1974d: 29) and therefore not in Bolton (1973a). Monotypic (see Bolton, 1995). No records from West Africa but it would not be surprising for it to occur in Cameroun.
Monotypic - single species Concoctio concenta.
