Description

Biology & habits

Very little is known about this extremely rare and possibly narrowly endemic species. The most recent records were found at rather high altitude in rocky montainous grasslands in Serra de Namba and Mount Moco (Rogério Ferreira pers. com.). There are a few old records mentioned from Benguela (Benguella) and Upper Cubango.
