Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Many early records from Angola attributed to 
1. capensis in fact refer to 1. bivittata Bocage, 
1866 (see above). Boulenger (1897) reported 
the first northern record for the species from 
“Kuango,” presumably in Malanje Province, 
which in the light of current knowledge does 
not correspond to the distribution of the 
/. capensis (Branch 1998; Broadley and Cotter- 
ill 2004; Broadley 2004; Bates et al. 2014). 
Although this and most Angolan records were 
recognized by Monard (1937b) and Laurent 
(1964a) as referrable to 1. bivittata, confusion

regarding the application of the name /. capensis in Angola remains today. The record of Branch 
and McCartney (1993) from Cuando Cubango Province is regarded as the first record of the 
nominotypical form in Angola (Branch 1998; Broadley 2004; Bates et al. 2014), but extensive 
fieldwork by Conradie in southeastern Angola has yielded additional records (Conradie et al. 
2016).
