COMMENTS
.— Only four records of this species are known for the country: Ongueria,
55 km
from Sá da Bandeira (presently Lubango), in Huíla Province (Laurent 1964a), Praia das Conchas (Laurent 1964a), “around Moçâmedes in the road to Sá da Bandeira” (Laurent 1964a) and Pico Azevedo (
Schmidt 1933
), both in Namibe Province. Our records represent southern range extensions for the species in the country, although the species extends into west-central
Namibia
(
Bauer et al. 1993
). In both
Namibia
and
Angola
it can occur sympatrically with other, similarly sized congeners, but is generally more restricted to rocky habitats than either
C. pulitzerae
or
C. turneri
.
