Microchaetus namaensis: Michaelsen 1908: 40 ; 1913 a: 541; 1918: 319; Pickford 1975: 23; Reynolds & Cook 1976: 143; Hartwich & Kilias 1989: 276; Plisko 1992: 339; 1995 b: 48 [redescription].

This species is known only from the type locality. According to a record given by Michaelsen (1908), and data on the label inserted in the tube containing type specimens (Plisko 1995 b), the material was collected in the area of Komaggas in Namaqualand, Northern Cape. However, the relationships of this species suggest the possibility of erroneous labelling.
