Material examined. Holotype, male (HNHM): ‘Soil—Zoological Exp. Congo—Brazzaville Kindamba, Méya near Adam cave / 7.11.1963 No 120 sifted in trunks leg. Endrödy-Younga / Holotype 1968 Trachyphloeus nodifrons Hoffmann / ♂ Type / Trachyphloeus nodifrons m. A. Hoffmann det. ♂’. Paratypes, 12 spec. (HNHM), 10 spec. labelled as holotype; 1 spec.: ‘Soil—Zoological Exp. Congo—Brazzaville Kindamba, Méya Luolo river / 2.11.1963 No 78 sifted in litter leg. Endrödy-Younga’; 1 spec.: ‘Soil—Zoological Exp. Congo—Brazzaville Kindamba, Méya Luolo river / 10.11.1963 No 148 soil trap leg. Balogh & Ziesi’.
Remarks. Hoffmann (1968) described this very interesting species from 30 specimens from the Adam Cave and Luolo River in the Republic of Congo. The type material was examined by the first author many years ago. The species certainly does not belong in Trachyphloeus, and its placement in the tribe Trachyphloeini is also doubtful. We provisionally leave it in Trachyphloeus.
