Microchaetus natalensis: Michaelsen 1913 c: 422 ; 1918: 324; Brinkhurst & Jamieson 1971: 739; Pickford 1975: 23; Reynolds & Cook 1976: 143; Plisko 1991 a: 287; 1992: 345; 1993 b: 235; 1995 a: 283; 1998: 273; 2003: 289; Reynolds 1993: 6.

This species is the most widely distributed microchaetid in South Africa. It occurs mainly in north-eastern parts of the country. Records are from a broad range of sites in KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces, and Kruger National Park. Recorded also from Swaziland (Reynolds 1993). Its occurrence is expected in Mozambique and possibly also in Zimbabwe.
