Mabu (PEM A11250 , male, 19.5 mm SUL), Mt. M'paluwe (PEM A11392 , female, 317.8 mm SUL; PEM A11393 , female, 21.2 mm SUL) . Comments Adult male was collected during the day sitting on a leaf in an open area at lower slopes of Mt. Mabu. Two females were collected sheltering in sugarcane fronds at the base of Mt. M'paluwe . Species identification was based on the absence of dorsal patterning and transverse tibial bands ( Pickersgill 2007 ). Others also reported this species to be present in northern Mozambique ( Branch 2004 , Portik et al. 2013a , Ohler and Fretey 2014 ).
