Parnopes fischeri is recorded from the Afrotropical ( Djibouti , Namibia , South Africa and Sudan ) and Palaearctic regions. The lectotype designation of Parnopes apicalis ( KIMSEY 1986: 109 ) should be checked, because the type locality Tadjoura is situated in Djibouti and not in Egypt . DU BUYSSON (1896: 686) has seen the type specimen in Cairo , which is missing the head, but the description of the head made by W.F. Kirby is based on a specimen housed in the Natural History Museum in London.
