A. abjecta is recorded by Evans (1937: 78) from Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast to Angola and the Congo, and Berger (1962: 451) lists a specimen taken in Guinea. It does not appear to be a common species.
The first record from Liberia is Zorzor, 1 $ , XI (Fox).
The only other representative of this species in Carnegie Museum is a paratype of Leptalina niangarensis from the type locality.
