Remarks.
The species is distributed throughout
RSA
(
Holm & Marais 1992
;
Beinhundner 2017a
) and recorded for
Angola
by
Paulino de Oliveira (1882)
. Its known distribution is more southern and eastern than the other species of the genus. The Zambeze locality given by
Paulino de Oliveira (1882)
is close to the Luena River near the
Zambia
border in Moxico Province. Eventually, the species was misinterpreted with the next species. The larvae of all instars of this species were described by
Donaldson (1987)
. Ecological data were provided by
Holm & Marais (1992)
and
Malec & Šípek (2017)
referred that the species is easily reproduced in captivity.
