Habitat:
This appears to be a moist savanna species. Further details are needed about the species natural history.

Range:
This little known species is known from two localities in Angola (including the type locality of Tyihumbwe [Chiumbe], 15 km west of Dala) and a single locality in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Mumeme, East of Likasi, Shaba Province). Hill and Carter (1941) suggest that the species may occur throughout eastern Angola, but more sampling is needed here.

Conservation:
There appear to be no direct conservation measures in place, and it is not known if the species is present within any protected areas. Further studies are needed into the taxonomy, distribution, natural history and potential threats to this poorly known species.
