General distribution: also recorded from Tanzania: Arusha and Dar es Salaam. The record from “ Tanga Regon, Lushoto Distr. Usambara Mts, Lewa” in Enghoff et al. (2016) refers to “Lewa Usambara” (Attems 1896). Lewa was a German plantation situated SE of Muheza town and thus not in the East Usambara Mts.
