Hah. South Africa below the Zanzibar and the Quanza rivers 

 A specinieii of this species is in the Leiden Museum from " Bender 

 Jtoueh.r *, Persian Gulf." I cannot find this locality in the Atlas, 

 anditthcspecimcu really came from the Persian Gulf, I think it 

 must have lived there in confinement.
