Hulla: “Kalukembe” [-13.78333, 14.68333] (Monard I937b:II3, 115 Broadley I966d:7). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: Described by Broadley (1962d) as a subspecies of 
Natriciteres olivacea (Peters, 1845) from northeastern Zambia, the species was first considered as 
a montane race close to Natriciteres olivacea ulugurensis Loveridge, 1935, itself now regarded as 
a synonym of N. variegata (Peters, 1861) or as a subspecies of N. variegata (Peters, 1861) 
(Broadley 1966d; Broadley et al. 2003; Broadley and Cotterill 2004). Recently, N. bipostocularis, 
N. pembana (Loveridge, 1935) and A. sylvatica, Broadley, 1966, the last two also once considered 
subspecies of N. variegata, were recognized as full species (Broadley et al. 2003; Broadley and 
Cotterill 2004).
