Description

The genitalia dissection and the diagnosis of this species made by Dupont et al. (2016) enabled identification of our specimens.

Distribution

Our specimens represented the first record of this species in Namibia. We collected them in the Zambezian (Bwabwata National Park) and Southern African (Namibgrens, Grootfontein) regions. This species was previously reported from these two biogeographical regions only, with records from numerous countries from Tanzania to South Africa. In South Africa, the species was known only from the north-eastern parts of the country ( Dupont et al. 2016). Hence, our records substantially extended its known distribution range westwards (Fig. 7 ).
