A. nivaria (Boulenger, 1895 [1894])

Distribution. Drakensberg of the Eastern Cape and Free State provinces, South Africa. Its occurrence in Lesotho is suspected but not yet documented (Bates & Bauer 2014b) (Fig. 4).

Remarks. Loveridge (1947) synonymized A. amatolica with A. nivaria and this interpretation was long followed (e.g, Wermuth 1965; De Waal 1978; Branch 1981). The two are not sister taxa (Fig. 1) and A. amatolica was raised from synonymy by Visser (1984b). Afroedura nivaria as currently construed is non-monophyletic (Makhubo et al. 2011; Makhubo 2013) and is currently under revision (Bates & Branch 1998).
