COMMENTS.— The only published Angolan record is from Laurent (1964a), from “Plage das Conchas,” Namibe Province. Our specimens are, respectively, 75 and 135 km SE of Laurent’s site. the Ditsong National Natural History Museum holds a small series of this species (TM 40733–37) from Iona National Park. The Angolan records extend the core distribution of its range in northwestern Namibia ( Branch 1998).
