Mozambique
(Visser 1984;
Jacobsen 1990
;
Bauer 2014e
) (

Remarks.
This species was previously considered a subspecies of
A. pondolia
(e.g.,
Onderstall 1984
) until raised to specific status by
Jacobsen (1990
,
1992a
). Six of the nine new species described herein are related to
A. langi
and earlier references to this species outside of its currently recognized range may refer to one or more of these taxa.
