Neacidiophora athaloides is also recorded from Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. The record from Eritrea is not mentioned in KOCH et al. (2015: 143). KOCH (1998: 90) did not studied the paratypes of Neacidiophora bequaerti var. sternalis, but placed with reserve the Eritrean paratype to athalioides. Forsius never described Neacidiophora bequaerti var. pectoralis . This name is probably a printing error and the correct name is sternalis.
