Aenictogiton fossiceps Emery

Type location Congo (Emery, 1901d: 49, illustrated, single male) .

Emery had it as "acquired from Staudinger and Bang Haas". It seems that O. Staudinger and A. Bang-Haas were Lepidopterists of some note around 1900 and also ran a firm involved with the collection of insects (see, for instance, http://www.esb.utexas.edu/philjs/News/PDF/nabokov.pdf.

Emery's description (1901d, my translation) is at . TL ca 8 mm; clear ferrugineous yellow; puncturation deep and sparse, each with a long curved slender hair; no pubescence. Gaster with shorter more inclined hairs, except on the pygidium where the hairs are long and thick. Wings smoky, with veins and stigma dark brown.
