MATERIAL.— Namibe-Lubango road, 2 km E (by road) of Mangueiras, south side of the road, 5 December 2013, 15º2ʹ37ʺS, 13º9ʹ36ʺE, 625 m ( CAS 254887 About CAS ) GoogleMaps .
COMMENTS.— This poorly known taxon was described from Benguela Province (Loveridge 1944a). Laurent (1964a) subsequently reported additional specimens from the “environs de Moçâmedes” (now Namibe, Namibe Province). More recently, Wulf Haacke collected 16 specimens from both Bengela and Namibe Provinces. The Namibe localities include Lungo , Lucira , San Nicolau , and Saco de Giraul. There is a single record from extreme northern Namibia (J. Boone, pers. comm.), suggesting that the species actually has a fairly broad range from south of the Kunene to Hanha in Benguela ( TM 46558 ).
