Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
The nomenclatural history of T. punctatissimus 
and its subspecies was reviewed by Haacke 
(1997), who validated the existence of two 
sympatric subspecies in southern Angola (thus 
suggesting that they should both be accorded 
specific status - see account below).
