Depicted in Ahl (1931b: 316, fig. 190). Another paratype, MCZ A-17629 from "Eldama River Station", coll. Grote was sent in exchange from ZMB in 1932 ( Barbour and Loveridge 1946: 127).

In October 1905 and November 1907, Tiesler sent two shipments, including nearly 300 amphibians and reptiles, to ZMB. This material was collected between November 1904 and January 1906 in Portuguese East Africa [Mozambique] and described by Nieden (1915). The vouchers of this collection originated from the following localities: Cabayra, Chifumbazi, Chinta, Costa, Lukunga, Marazi, Missala, Tschimbo, Tschinoupe and from the Zambezi River without any exact locality data.
