Distribution. Previously recorded from Lesotho ( Dirsh 1956b), and South Africa ( Uvarov 1922, Dirsh 1956b).

Remarks. The genus Calliptamicus was erected by Uvarov (1922) on the basis of its peculiar slender hind femora and the shape of its male genitalia. So far, its taxonomic status is stable or satisfactory although the two nominate species are very similar in appearance and their species boundaries require investigation.
