REMARKS. This species was originally described from
South Africa
. Later it has been found in some localities of Africa and
Madagascar
, as well as in
Australia
, the Hawaiian
Islands, the Juan Fernández Islands, and the St. Paul Island (Enghoff
et al
., 2013; Bonato
et al
., 2016). In Europe, this species was found in greenhouses in
Great Britain
(Barber, 1992)
and the
Czech Republic
(Dányi & Tuf, 2016), and also in garden flowerpots in
France
(Iorio,
2016), as well as in outdoor habitats in
Denmark
and
Germany
(Enghoff
et al
., 2013; Decker
et al
., 2017). Females examined are characterized as follows: body length about
10 mm
,
antennae with 28–29 articles, and 12th tibia with a distal spinose projection (
Fig. 1
). Here
L
.
africanus
is recorded from
Russia
for the first time.
