Photographs of live specimens of Achiplecton stilleri taken in the wild indicate a wider occurrence of this species in the Western Cape Province. Concurrently, the colouration of the examined dead specimens (Fig. 12A–B) indicates a stable colouration of this species when compared to living specimens. All photographs were taken by Cecile Roux and published with her permission. The original description of Achiplecton stilleri (Brysz et al. 2023) demonstrated that this species occurs in the Montane Fynbos and Renosterveld ecoregion (AT1203). Newly obtained data indicate the occurrence of this taxon in the Lowland Fynbos and Renosterveld ecoregion (AT1202). However, its distribution remains confined to the Western Cape Province and the Cape Floristic Region.</p><p>SOUTH AFRICA – Western Cape Province, West Coast district • Swartland Municipality; 33°28′12.0″ S, 18°44′14.5″ E; 23 Sep. 2024; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=18.737362&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-33.47" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 18.737362/lat -33.47)">Klipkoppie Nature Reserve</a> [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/244140803] • Bergriver Municipality; 32°36′57.8″ S, 18°18′04.4″ E; 21 Sep. 2024; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=18.301222&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-32.616055" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 18.301222/lat -32.616055)">Rocherpan Nature Reserve</a> [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/243927735] • Bergriver Municipality; 32°41′18.4″ S, 18°14′14.9″ E; 8 Oct. 2023; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=18.237473&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-32.688446" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 18.237473/lat -32.688446)">Berg River</a> [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/187225824] • Saldanha Bay Municipality; 33°00'38.9″ S, 18°21′24.7 E; 24 Sep. 2024; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=18.356861&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-33.010807" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 18.356861/lat -33.010807)">Hopefield</a> [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/243745437] .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CD6B53FFF6FF8789EAFB8E688AF8B5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
