Only known from two localities; Boston and Impendle, but possibly distributed within the ImpendleBostonCentral Midlands area, which has quite a few endemic species (e.g. insects, reptiles, and plants). The reason for this appears to be that the central mist belt lies between the UmzimkuluUmkomaas River systems and the Tugela River systems (i.e. vicariance) and that the central mist belt has a fairly unique combination of environmental features, in terms of temperature (the environment is temperate and therefore mild), precipitation (including a lot of mist, but relatively little frost compared with higher altitudes), and relatively high mountain ranges (e.g. the Bulwer Mountain and Nhlosane Mountain range) (A.
