Material. HILLWOOD FARM: BMNH 2018.5866–67 ( Fig. 6D View Fig ); NKWAJI: BMNH 2018.5856– 57, BMNH 2018.5858–60, BMNH 2018.5861 ( Fig. 6E View Fig ), BMNH 2018.5862 –63; BMNH 2018.5868–69 ( Fig. 6F View Fig ), BMNH 2018.5870–72. Comments: All specimens are morphologically similar to P. natalensis , however the BLAST search shows sequence similarity with P. natalensis from South Africa (GenBank accession number DQ 347303) varying between 90–91% (see Fig. 5 View Fig ). These populations form a northern Zambian clade, sister to southern, western, and eastern African clades. Further investigation is needed to resolve the taxonomical status of this group.
