Acylophorus capensis Cameron, 1945

Material examined. SOUTH AFRICA: Western Cape: Swellendam, Marloth NR, Dulwelsbos Waterfall, 33O59’S 20O27’E, M & B Uhlig 7–8. xi.2006, 13 ( ZMBH); Marloth NR, Dulwelsbos, mountain rivulet, 33O58’S 20O26’E, M Uhlig 13.xi.1997, 332Ƥ ( ZMBH); Swellendam, 34O0’S 20O26’E, M & B Uhlig 8.xi.2006, 13 ( ZMBH); Cederberg Wilderness Area, Mt Ceder, 32O38’S 19O24’E, M & B Uhlig 22–23. x.2006, 13 ( ZMBH); Kogelberg NR, Oudebos, 34O20’S 19O1’E, Geginat, 1.xii.2002, 1 ( ZMBH).

Discussion. The additional material seen all comes from within the known distributional range of this species, which is rather narrow and extends from Western Cape province to Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa. In this area, it seems to be the most frequently collected species of Acylophorus .
