 Comments
       
  Comment: Comments: For dating the name to É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1803 see Grubb (2001a) and Opinion 2005 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (2002b). The type locality was selected as South Africa, Northern Cape, Lataku (= Kuruman) by Harper (1940), but there is evidence to show that the holotype was collected much farther south where the species no longer occurs, at Plettenberg Bay (Grubb, 1999). Subspecific systematics follows Ansell (1972:46)
