Comments.

Dinapsis scriptus is known from localities in northern, central, and southwestern Madagascar (Antsiranana, Fianarantsoa, and Toliara provinces). Dinapsis scriptus is distinguished from the other Dinapsis species by the hind tibia having a well-developed distal prong with only simple setae (see couplet 14 of the key to species). A similar prong is also present on the hind tibia of D. planifrons but that species has spatulate setae on the distal prong. For a full species description and more information on its distribution and distinguishing characteristics, see Mita and Shaw (2020).
