Comment: Branch (2018) discusses the description, history, and taxonomy of N. anchietae in Angola. This is a common species occurring in southern Angola, with known records compiled by Broadley (1995). Recent records are from Malanje Province ( Ceríaco et al. 2014, Vaz Pinto, unpub. data), on the edge of the plateau in Tundavala ( Baptista et al. 2018), Cassinga (Vaz Pinto, unpub. data), and Bimbe (Baptista and Vaz Pinto, unpub. data).
