Proandricus babanango Plisko, 1992 View in CoL

Proandricus babanango Plisko, 1992: 355 View in CoL ; Plisko 2000 b: 245; Reynolds & Cook 1993: 12.

Material examined: KwaZuluNatal: Nkandla Forest Reserve (28º42'44"S: 31º08'39"E) at 1204 m, eastfacing slope, grassland burnt 3 years ago, at 30 cm depth, NMSA GoogleMaps / Olig.03530, 1 cl, and NMSA / Olig.03531, 20 juv; all collected 21 November 2001 by AJA, HM .

Remarks: The species has been described from Babanango situated in northern KZN ( Fig. 7 View Fig ). The subsequent records (Plisko 2000 b) and present data suggest that this species may range into the central part of the province. In the presently noted site it was associated with a juvenile Tritogenia , and an acanthodrilid of the genus Udeina .
