[i] 1Until recently, this species was thought to be widespread in Central Africa, but was restricted to Angola by Channing et al. (2016), and all previous records refer to other species, including possible new species noted by Larson et al. (2016).
[ii] 2Records of Amietia angolensis and A. wittei from the Lendu Plateau, DRC by Mali et al. (2019) are erroneus.
