Terra typica : Republic of South Africa (Africa)

Democratic Republic of Congo:

• 01°17′S, 29°31′E; 1,750 m asl: North Kivu Province, Albert National Park [Virunga National Park], Tshengelero [ Tshengere ] (swamp N of Munagana ), soil. Teunissen (1938) GoogleMaps

Kenya:

• 01°15′S, 36°41′E; 2,000 m asl: Kiambu County, Kikuyu , moss. Murray (1913) GoogleMaps

Republic of South Africa:

• 29°44′S, 22°44′E: Type Locality: Undefined locality, Cape Colony [Cape Province]. Murray (1907a)

Record numbers. Democratic Republic of Congo: 1, Kenya: 1, Republic of South Africa: 1; total: 3.

Remarks. Originally described from Africa this species also has single reports from Asia, Central and South America ( McInnes 1994a, Kaczmarek et al. 2014a, Kaczmarek et al. 2015). The limited early description of E. crassispinosus ( Murray, 1907a) requires new material from the type locale to confirm both the species and its biogeographic description.
