Nat., Lisboa , ser. 1, 3:126 . TYPE LOCALITY: Angola , Huilla . DISTRIBUTION: S Angola , SW Zambia , NE Namibia , N Botswana ; limits unknown, possibly also occurs in NW Zimbabwe . COMMENTS: Treated by Allen (1939) , Hill and Carter (1941) , and Roberts (1951) as a species, but included in D. incomtus by Ellerman (1941) and most later writers of lists (e.g., Meester et al., 1986 ; Misonne, 1974 ). Crawford-Cabral (1983) recorded sympatry between D. nudipes and D. incomtus in Angola , and our survey of series from Chitau identified as D. nudipes by Hill and Carter (1941:98) revealed it consists of both nudipes and incomtus , qualitative observations supported by morphometric analyses ( Crawford-Cabral and Pacheco, 1989 ). Lukolela and Luluabourg, Zaire , have been included within range of D. nudipes ( Crawford-Cabral, 1983 ) , but specimens from there (in the American Museum of Natural History) are examples of D. incomtus . The holotype and only specimen of edsoni, described as subspecies of D. nudipes from Lukolela, middle Zaire ( Hatt, 1934b ), is an incomtus , not a nudipes .
