Aphaniosoma dhofaricum Ebejer, 1996 View in CoL

Aphaniosoma dhofaricum: Ebejer 1996: 290 View in CoL .

Although not yet found on mainland Africa, this species is abundant in Dhofar, the southern region of Oman. A. gallagheri Ebejer, 1996 View in CoL (see below), also common in southern Oman, has been found as far west as the Cape Verde. Therefore, I have included dhofaricum View in CoL here for completeness and because southern Oman is zoogeographically within the Afrotropics.

Distribution: Oman (Dhofar), Cape Verde.
