Historical records of H. lugubris from Benguela Province (Bocage 1867, 1895; Boulenger 1921; Monard 1937; Mertens 1938; Szczerbak 1975) are all referable to H. crawfordi sp. nov. Since then, new records have expanded its known distribution to the neighboring province of Kwanza Sul and south into northern Namibe Province. | |
