Engel (1924) did not indicate the type status of each specimen. If these are syntypes it will be necessary to designate lectotypes for both <i>fascipennis</i> and <i>semirufus</i>. I have seen many specimens from both Willowmore and Deleray collected by Brauns. <i>A. maculipennis</i> - 1&amp;male;1&amp;female; <b>syntypes</b> (<i>maculipennis</i>), Zimbabwe, Saw Mills (and other material from same locality) apparently in the National Museum of Zimbabwe, Bulawayo. I have seen other material from this locality. <i>A. fascipennis</i>: Examination of the full series of specimens at my disposal supports acceptance of the synonymy of <i>semirufus</i> Engel and <i>maculipennis</i> Ricardo as suggested by Oldroyd (1974). Although I have not seen Ricardo’s syntypes of <i>maculipennis</i>, I here designate the male as <b>lectotype</b> and the female as <b>paralectotype</b>. TABLE 2 Distribution of <i>Anypodetus</i> species in terms of climatic regions.? = doubtful record. <i>Abbreviations</i>: SP - Subtropical plateau. TEP - Temperate eastern plateau. D - Desert. PS - Plateau slopes. M - Mediterranean. SC - Subtropical coast. SAP - Semi -arid plateau. WTP - Warm temperate plateau. TC - Temperate coast. SL - Subtropical lowveld. <i>A. fascipennis</i>: The most widely distributed species, known from six climatic regions. Not reported from the higher rainfall areas of the eastern parts of the subcontinent.
