northern Botswana, northern Namibia, and neighboring southern Angola. The record by Ruas 
(1996) is from further north in “Calombe,” which calls into question the identification of the spec¬ 
imen. However, Ruas (1996) noted that this northern extension might relate to the historical distri¬ 
bution of the Kalahari sands. This species is known from temporary pools and flooded grasslands 
(Poynton and Broadley 1985a; Poynton and Haacke 1993; Channing 2001).

Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
This monotypic genus was reviewed by Poyn¬ 
ton (1964) and Poynton and Broadley (1988). 
It is a widely distributed species found in
