Type Locality: " Guinea ".

Discussion: hispida species group. Reviewed by Van Cakenberghe and De Vree (1993 b). N. marica is sometimes recognized as a distinct savanna subspecies, but this does not seem justified based on morphology; see Van Cakenberghe and De Vree (1993 b). See Hickey and Dunlop (2000).
