Distribution. Recorded from many Afrotropical countries, from Nigeria to Somalia ( OLMI & COPELAND 2011).

Comment. Dryinus ampuliciformis ( Turner, 1928) is preoccupied by Campylonyx ampuliciformis Westwood, 1835 (now junior synonym of Dryinus collaris Linnaeus, 1767 ), because Campylonyx Westwood, 1835 is junior synonym of Dryinus Latreille, 1804 (synonymized by OLMI 1984).
