Contrary to most other changes proposed by
Koopman, Hayman
et al.
(1966: 64)
did not follow
Koopman (1965: 21)
, who suggested that there is “no good reason to regard
spillmanni
as anything except a subspecies of
T. (C.) nigeriae
.” They indicated (p. 62) that the different wing colour separates the two species. According to their maps (94 and 97), the dark-winged
nigeriae
occurs in the northeastern part of the
DRC
(Haut-Uélé Province) and the light-winged
spillmanni
in the southeastern part (Tanganyika, Haut-Katanga and Haut-Lomami Provinces). One additional record comes from Tandala (Equateur Province), in the northwestern part of the
DRC
. With the exception of the last record,
Cotterill & Happold (2013d: 524)
plotted all of the
DRC
specimens. The southeastern records are part of an area also covering the north/western parts of
Zambia
. A further large area is found in Zimbabwe-Botswana, and they also drew smaller areas in
Ghana
, southern
Nigeria
, northern
Cameroon
, northern
Central African Republic
, central
Ethiopia
and south-central
Angola
, and individual localities in
Guinea
,
Niger
,
South Sudan
,
Tanzania
and
Namibia
. The SDM map suggests a much wider distribution in southern Africa (supported by material from northeastern

;
