Distribution note:

The records of Uganda (Hampson 1910d: 318; Janse 1937–1939) are misidentifcations of Acrapex ketoma Le Ru, 2020, and the records of Zimbabwe (same references) are misidentifications of Acrapex mazoe Le Ru, 2020 (see B. Le Ru et al. 2020a: 58); the record of DR Congo (Kiriakoff 1954e: 54) probably refers to Acrapex obscura Le Ru, 2020.
