Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Loveridge (1941e) eonsidered the forms 
D. granti (Boulenger 1907), D. colobura 
(Boulenger 1910), D. transvaalensis (FitzSi- 
mons 1933), D. mossambica (Cott, 1934) and 
D. kaynuamarum (Monard, 1937) all syn¬ 
onyms of D. pistillum. Laurent (1964a) sug¬ 
gested that these eonstituted three speeies 
(Z). pistilum, D. mossambicus, D. colobura) 
with granti, transvaalensis and kuanyamarum 
potentially synonyms or valid raees of the first 
of these. Haaeke (1984) provided a map with 
some points in Angola, one of whieh matehes
