NOTE

The sub-Sahelian species of the genus Anthracocentrus Quentin & Villiers, 1983 have been recently revised by BOUYER (2023). In Namibia, two species are recognized to be present in the country: A. capensis (White 1853) and A. pseudoberingei Bouyer, 2023 . Up to now, only the species A. capensis has been found to occur in the Kuzikus reserve.
