COMMENTS.— The Angolan endemic R. taeniostictus was described from a single specimen from “ 60 km on the road from Moçâmedes [presently Namibe] to Sá da Bandeira [presently Lubango]”. Laurent (1964a) also considered the populations of R. barnardi from Mucungo cited by Schmidt (1933) as referable to R. taeniostictus . The species appears restricted to Namibe Province and is represented by many specimens in our collection as well as more widespread Namibe localities in the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History.
