Distribution: Namibia ( Mey 2007: 21).

Note: Mey (2007: 22) thinks that U. maculata “is obviously widely distributed in the savanna Biome of Namibia and may occur also in the neighbouring countries Botswana, Zimbabwe and Angola. It often occurs together with congeneric species”. However, there are no published records yet referring to the specimens caught in these three latter countries.
