This is a strictly Afrotropical genus with only 3 species described so far, occurring in Eastern (Tanzania, Uganda) and Southern Africa (South Africa). Ctenocalus can be easily differentiated from the other two genera of the tribe Ctenocalini occurring in the Afrotropical area ( Magwengiella HEINRICH and Seyrigiella HEINRICH) by the following characteristics: propodeum without or with incomplete carination; all claws of ♀ pectinate, and notauli obsolete, present only at the base (HEINRICH 1967 -1968: 378).
