NOTE
Recently collected specimens bridge the gap between the two former species and show that there is only one species involved. After including the new synonym, and several newly identified specimens,the distribution of this species stretches now from Sudan to Mozambique and from 1500 m altitude to sea level ( Fig. 9 View FIG ) .
