(Old material). Stutterheim area and Kirstenbosch. New material: KZN: Lidgeton

Remarks.

This species has been collected in two areas in the EC and WC only. The EC record is from a private garden soil (Plisko 2010), whilst the WC record is from a forest in Kirstenbosch. The new material is from a mixed species pasture and the species occurred in high numbers. There is a high possibility that the distribution of this species in agroecosystems is wider than what is known because not much sampling in cultivated fields has been done.
