REMARKS

This species occurs in West Tropical Africa, West Central Tropical Africa, Northeast Tropical Africa, and East Tropical Africa (Montero Muñoz et al. 2018a). Although there are two references of Acalypha neptunica from Madagascar (Baillon 1895b; Palacký 1907), we have not yet confirmed its presence in the study area.
