ST(3)— ZMUC, from RSA: Western Cape Province, “Cap. Bon. Spei”. Namibia , w. RSA.

Length 9–16.5 mm.

According to J. Harrison (TMSA, in litt.), this species appears to be endemic to the west coast. Literary records from Botswana, Zimbabwe and nc.–ne. RSA ( Free State, KwaZulu Natal) thus ought to be regarded as doubtful.
