HOLOTYPE : AMNH 451794 , adult male, collected at Deep Sloot , Benguela , Angola , on 25 November 1905 , by W.J. Ansorge (no. 609). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Neumann had the single specimen. The type of the earlier name introduced by Sousa was supposed to have come from São Tomé Island in the Gulf of Guinea, but the species has not been seen there since and the locality may have been incorrect or the type may have been a captive individual or from an introduced population that has since died out ; it is known only from Angola . Dean (2000) was not able to place this type locality.
