Record numbers. Kenya: 1; total: 1.

Remarks. Macrobiotus rubens has a very disjunct distribution ( McInnes 1994), however, the few taxonomic characters in the original description ( Murray 1907d), preclude correct identification. This taxon is in urgent need of a detail re-description based on material from the type locality.
