Remarks
Gusenleitner (2012) synonymized this species under Afrepipona angusta , but the examination of both species, including the holotype of A. lamptoensis , showed that they are very different and come from different areas of Africa. The distinctive characters are summarized in the key.
The records from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia and Zimbabwe ( Gusenleitner 2011) are considered doubtful.
