Aenictogiton attentuatus Santschi

Type location Zaïre (Aenictus elongatus Sants. var. attenuatus n. var., Santschi 1919c: 247, illustrated, male; raised to species, Santschi, 1924b: 199) 300 km south of Kindu, by Burgeon .

Santschi (1924b, my translation) noted he raised it to species status as it was much more slender than elongatus, of which he formerly regarded it as a variety.
Further specimens from Congo (Belgian) - Lumbumbashi (Elizabethville), Pweto (Dr Gerard); Sankisia, 4.vi.1918 (Dr Rodhain) - both single male specimens..

His original description (Santschi, 1919c) is at .
MALE - TL 5.5 mm; colour clear rust; head and gaster rust brown, lower thorax rust. Pilosity and sculpture as the type (elongatus); petiole a little narrower and more deeply convex below, with the inferior lobe only occupying a little more than one third of the median part of the node, it is higher in front and attenuated posteriorly. Wings brownish. Otherwise as elongatus.
