Author Gadallah, Neveen S. text Zootaxa 2020 2020-03-20 4754 1 191 216 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4754.1.20 26462e48-8d30-4a4b-b672-60e919bee474 1175-5326 3719047 405A99CB-EE7B-42E7-A81B-17F58E612D1E Ropalidia cincta (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1836) Distribution in the Arabian Peninsula: Yemen ( Madl 2018 ). Extralimital distribution: Democratic Republic of Congo , Djibouti , Eritrea , Ethiopia , Gambia , Kenya , Mozambique , Namibia , Republic of Congo , Senegal , Somalia , South Africa , Sudan , Tanzania , Uganda , Zimbabwe . Remarks: Madl (2018) , in his paper on the Hymenoptera of Djibouti , provided no reference for the occurrence in Yemen and claimed that this species is also widespread in the Palaearctic region; this record may therefore be an error, although it is possibly correct.
