Comments

A single male specimen of this species was found in the
MRAC collections collected by J. Ghesquière in 1922 in San Thomé [= Sao
Tome and Principe]. Since the islands of Sao Tome and Principe were a
former Portugese colony, it was first suspected that the presence of
A. foveolatus on the island was an accidental introduction (Rousse
et al. 2013). The label on the specimen lacks further details about the
collection locality, and it is not known whether it was collected in an
anthropogenic habitat or not. Additionally, there are some other
examples in MRAC collections of Hymenoptera labeled as collected in Sao
Tome, but which are actually from Madagascar or even Belgium (A. Pauly,
pers. comm.). The presence, accidental or not, of A. foveolatus
in Sao Tome or even in the Afrotropical Region is doubtful (Rousse et
al. 2013). |
