remarks:
The 3 ST are probably in CUGE, however 4 specimens of the same series are deposited in USNM and were used for species definition. There is a variety with 2+1 dc and darker legs collected from mixed woodlands and forest margins in South Africa and Malawi. Nigerian specimens near Milichiella argentiventris were reared from rotten yam tubers (Dioscoreaceae)
AF:

Distribution:
Egypt and Yemen, varieties in Malawi and South Africa
