Dorylus (Anomma) funereus Emery

Type locality Ghana (Dorylus nigricans variety funereus, Emery, 1895j: 712, male; raised to species by Emery, 1910); subspecies acherontus (Santschi, 1937b: 97, male) from Congo; varieties pardus and stygis (Santschi, 1937b: 97, males) from Zaïre, and zumpti (Santschi, 1937b: 96, illustrated, male) from Cameroun, collected on Mt. Cameroun, by Dr. F. Zumpt, xi.1935; male only known (see Bolton, 1995) .

Emery's (1895j) very brief description is at . Santschi's (1937b) descriptions of varieties are at and Emery (1899e: 461) emphasised that these brown winged males had an exceptional convexity to the anterior of the face, very different to the two smoky winged species that he had seen - nigricans, in two forms - from Sierra Leone, the type location, and Cameroun-Congo; the latter he thought might be of wilverthi as it was found with workers of that species.

Cameroun also by Conradt (Wheeler, 1922). Wheeler also reported males from three Zaïre locations. Forel (1909b) recorded males from Sankuru, Kasai, Zaïre, collected by Luja; Cameroun, Mukonje Farm, by R. Rhode (described in his notes on nigricans as seeming to be var. funereus).

A single male was collected at Ziéla, Guinea, forest border (Bernard, 1952).

The photomontage is of a male from Central African Republic, Dzanga-Sangha National Park; 03°55’13.2" N 16°36’46.1" E 536m; U.V 20.i.2005; 2h-6h, après Sefka (entre Bambio et croisement Nola/Berberati), dans layon forestier; from on a reduviid bug; collected in forest, 1st hour of the morning.
