Remarks. Described from Mozambique, recorded also from Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and South Africa. Some specimens above listed had traces of the spermatophylax, indicating recent mating. According to Naskrecki & Guta (2019) adults are seen between March and early May; thus, February collecting of mating adults seems to be precocious.
