Axinidris parvus Shattuck

Type location Liberia (Shattuck, 1991: 118, not illustrated, holotype worker) .

WORKER - HL 0.53-0.61, HW 0.45-0.52, SL 0.38-0.42, PW 0.21-0.24
Small species; area between propodeal spines smooth, no medial carina; pronotum with 2 elongate, erect hairs; each propodeal spine with a single distinct erect hair; head and alitrunk reddish-yellow, gaster darker yellowish-red; appendages yellow (Shattuck, 1991).

From Paiata (or Payeta), also from Du River (both by J. Bequaert) and on plants. Shattuck (1991) gave no details but Bequaert was in Zaïre in 1910-1915. Either Bequaert visited Liberia whilst in transit to or from the Congo Basin or the parvus type location is wrong.
