Arrenurus (Micruracarus) forcipetiolatus Walter, 1922

Distribution. Lake Nyassa ( Jansen van Rensburg 1974 [listed], Viets 1953).

Remarks. The locality given by Viets (1953) does not now fall within Zambian borders. At that time, Lake Nyassa was included in the Central African Federation (also called the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland), which comprised Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) and Nyasaland (now Malawi). In 1963, the Federation was dissolved and subsequently Lake Nyassa’s western limit lay in the newly independent Malawi.
