Description

The identification was based on Hacker (2016).

Distribution

The three reported individuals represent the first record of O. negrottoi in South Africa. This species was previously known only from the Somalian (Somalia) and Zambezian (Tanzania) regions ( Hacker 2016, De Prins and De Prins 2022). We extended its known distribution for over 1,000 km southwards (Fig. 13 View Figure 13 ).
