Description

The identification was based on Hacker (2019).

Distribution

We report this species for the first time in South Africa. It was already known from several countries in the Guinean (Burkina Faso, Nigeria), Somalian (Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Kenya), Zambezian and Southern African biogeographical regions, including Zimbabwe bordering with South Africa ( Hacker 2019). Its occurrence in KNP is, therefore, not surprising (Fig. 3 ).
