Seasons Greetings Pierre.
According to Fuchs, 1966 it also occurs in West Africa " Paratypus: Westafrika (ohne nähere Angabe)." but I do not have a clue where Angabe is.

"Angabe" is not a location but the german word for "indication" or "precision".
Here, Fuchs' comment means: "Western Africa, without further informations".
Riana, do you have specimen available for trades? |

| Superb beast indeed! We managed to catch one in the Outeniqua Mountains north of Knysna. |
