Figure 14 shows the habitat in Tsitsikama National Park (2xm). Note. The neotype of A. dorsalis is in accordance with the original description by SUFFRIAN (1857). The de- scription of A. dorsalis was based on a series of speci- mens located in the collection of the Natural History Museum Hamburg, Germany. The types in Hamburg were not found and are presumed to have been de- stroyed during World War II together with almost the complete collection of the museum in 1945. Moreover, the collections in Halle/Saale, Berlin (Germany) and Stockholm (Sweden), which harbour type specimens of SUFFRIAN were consulted, but unfortunately none of them had specimens of A. dorsalis.
