Distribution.

This is the first record of the species from Namibia, otherwise species is recorded from Cameroon, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, Nigeria and South Africa (Freeman 1956; Freeman and Cranston 1980; Curtis 1991; Harrison 2004). No specimens of this species were successfully barcoded as a part of this project. This species is often treated as " unplaced ” within Chironomini (Freeman and Cranston 1980), we are following Ekrem et al. (2017) in placing this species in Parachironomus .
