Camp (2732Aa) / Nov. 29, 1971 ME&BJ Irwin / dry scrub forest; 320 ft’; 1♂ 1♀, 5 km E Makana - near Ndumu Game Reserve, 2732AB, 3.xii.1982, Londt, Stuckenberg & Barraclough, Roadside; 1♂, Mseleni, 2732BC, 29.xi.1982, Stuckenberg, Barraclough & Londt, Woodland / sandy area; UNKNOWN: 1♀ Paratype, ‘ Devuli Ranch, 13/2/71 ’.

Material not seen: Oldroyd (1974) records the species from Zimbabwe. Although I have not seen this material I doubt the accuracy of the identification. He also listed the paratype locality of ‘Devuli Ranch’ as in Zimbabwe, but I have not been able to verify this.

A. unicolor: Apart from a single, doubtful record (Naawpoort), this species appears to inhabit the subtropical lowveld climatic region with its mild dry winters and hot, high -rainfall summers.
