Distribution note:

The record of Ethiopia (J. Razowski & P. Trematerra 2010: 61) probably refers to Dracontogena agassizi Aarvik & Karisch, 2012 (see L. Aarvik et al. 2012: 348). The record of Nigeria (J. Razowski & J. Wojtusiak 2012: 102) probably refers to Dracontogena continentalis Karisch, 2005.
