Global conservation status (lUCN): Not Evaluated. 
Global distribution: The speeies is endemie to southwestern Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 180): The 
species is known from southwestern Angola in 
Namibe and Cunene provinces near the Namib¬ 
ian border. Namibe: “40 km south of Omauha 
lodge” [-16.51164, 12.44761] (Conradie et al. 
2012b: Online Supplementary Material; Ceria- 
co et al. 2016a:56); “14 km west of Moimba” 
[-16.67947, 12.61275] (Conradie et al. 
2012b: 105, Online Supplementary Material; 
Ceriaco et al. 2016a:56); “23 km West of 
Moimba” [-16.67947, 12.97397] (Conradie et 
al. 2012b: Online Supplementary Material; 
Ceriaco et al. 2016a:56); “26 km East of Iona” 
[-16.82928, 12.62103] (Conradie et al. 2012b: 
Online Supplementary Material; Ceriaco et al. 
2016a:56); “16 km East of Iona” [-16.79797, 
12.68050] (Conradie et al. 2012b: Online Sup¬ 
plementary Material; Ceriaco et al. 2016a:56);

“8 km North East of Iona” [-16.82928, 12.62103] (Conradie et al. 2012b: Online Supplementary 
Material; Ceriaco et al. 2016a:56); “Road to Onocua 7 km NE from Iona” [-16.85831, 12.61275] 
(Conradie et al. 2012b:105; Ceriaco et al. 2016a:56); “26 km SE of Oncocua” [-16.86881, 
13.52756] (Conradie et al. 2012b: Online Supplementary Material; Ceriaco et al. 2016a:56). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: This recently described species was likely previously 
mistaken for one of its superficially similar congeners, Pedioplanis undata (Smith, 1838). Laurent 
(1964a) cited Angolan material of the latter species and its presence in the country was long wide¬ 
ly accepted (e.g.. Branch 1998; Makokha et al. 2007; Haacke 2008). However, based on the 
phylogenetic analysis by Conradie et al. (2012b) P. undata is not present in Angola and, as 
currently understood, the species is endemic to Namibia. Laurent’s records were considered by 
Conradie et al. (2012b) to correspond Pedioplanis haackei Conradie, Measey, Branch and Tolley, 
2012 and Pedioplanis huntelyi Conradie, Measey, Branch and Tolley, 2012. Pedioplanis ''undata"' 
from outside the accepted range of these two species are likely to represent one or more unde¬ 
scribed taxa (W.R. Branch, pers. comm., January 2017).
