The Bemmeridae has not yet been revised. Of the five Homostola species known from South Africa only Homostola zebrina Purcell, 1902 is known from both sexes the rest is only known from the females. The five species are all South African endemics except H. zebrina that is also known from Eswatini (Swaziland). Three species are listed as Least Concern is Homostola pardalina (Hewitt, 1913), Homostola vulpecula Simon, 1892 and Homostola zebrina. Of the 28 Spiroctenus species known from South Africa only nine are known from both sexes with two species descriptions based on juveniles. The status of all 28 species remains obscure and some more sampling is needed to collect both sexes and to determine the species’ range as nineteen of the species are known only from the type locality . They are listed as Data Deficient.
