Distribution in WSC: Mozambique , RSA . *Actual current distribution: RSA , Nam. Recent taxonomic treatment: Not redescribed. Remarks: The record of C. capensis in Lessert (1936) , a paper dealing largely with Mozambican spiders, is clearly indicated as being Lüderitzbucht [=Lüderitz] in Afrique Sud-occidentale [= Namibia ], so the distribution in the WSC is erroneous. Consider- ing the relatively restricted ranges of most Caponia Simon, 1890 in South Africa (Dippenaar-Schoeman et al. 2010), even this record from Namibia may be a misidentification. Diploglena sp. [juveniles]: 232 [F] Localities in Purcell (1908) and countries: Port Nolloth, Little Namaqualand [ RSA ]. Distribution in WSC: n/a. Recent taxonomic treatment: Haddad (2015). Remark: These juveniles might belong to either D. arida Haddad, 2015 or D. karooica Haddad, 2015 , both of which occur in the extreme north-western Northern Cape in the vicinity of Port Nolloth (Haddad 2015).
