Remarks.The genus Paramacrobiotus(until recently a species-group within Macrobiotus) has been divided into richtersiand areolatus(with and without macroplacoid, respectively) species groups. Paramacrobiotus areolatus, once considered cosmopolitan ( McInnes 1994), is now recognised as the nominal species for a group of very similar taxa that require careful taxonomic examination of adults and egg morphology for correct identification. A few new (including African) species of the areolatusgroup (e.g. Michalczyk & Kaczmarek 2006b, Degma et al.2008, Kaczmarek et al.2014b). Both Richters (1908)and Binda (1984) predate the taxonomic changes and failed to find eggs, essential for correct species identification. This, in conjunction with P. areolatusbeing originally described from the Arctic, implies all African records should be treated with caution until relevant examples are re-examined or new African material is confirmed.
