Wheeler (1922, who had it in subgenus Dinomyrmex - now used solely for the South-East Asian species Camponotus gigas Latreille), describing it as "light-colored", has it as also found in Cameroun at Lomié (by Thesing) and from Zaïre (no details).

Noted as nocturnal according to Creighton Wellman by Forel (1909b), on ants from Benguela, Angola.

Bernard (1952) noted this large, nocturnal ant, quite rare, with the single worker caste corresponding to the minor of other sections (subgenera), as found at Mt. Nimba, Guinea, one worker from Yanlé and one from Yalanzou; both forest areas.
