Remarks. The pingue group is a complex of similar species ( Pilato & Binda 1998, 1999, see Fontoura & Pilato (2007) for diagnostic key). Diphascon pingue sensu lato was believed to be cosmopolitan ( McInnes 1994a), but the recent revision suggests the nominal species is probably Holarctic ( Pilato & Binda 1998, 1999). Some of the African reports could be for Diphascon pingue sensu stricto; however, other species from pingue group, e.g. D. zaniewi from the Republic of South Africa, have been described from the region.
