On the Loango Coast specimens have been collected by 

 Falkenstein, Lucan and Petit, at Landana and Chiiichonxo, 

 and by Sperling at Kabinda. Bohndorff met with the species 

 at Manyanga on the Congo, and the type was discovered by 

 Wellwitsch in the Galnnga Alto district of Angola at an

 Lake Nyasa.
