Plangia graminea (Serville, 1838) View in CoL View at ENA

Material examined. Zambia: Camp near Kanyama (Miombo/Riverine Dambo mosaic) (1375m) 4-7.XII.2019, M. Bashford, W. Miles, L. Mulvaney (1♂) ; Mozambique: Maputo Special Reserve, West Gate, Sand Thicket , Actinic Light Trap 9-17.II.2018, G. Laszlo, J. Mulvaney, L. Smith (1♂) ( ANHRT) .

Remarks. The specimens above listed match quite well with the images presented by Hemp et al. (2015) for P. graminea ; the stridulatory file of Zambian specimen has ca. 70 teeth, very similar to 67 teeth reported by Hemp et al. (2015). Thus, P. graminea should be present in Zambia and Mozambique, other than South Africa.
