The altitudinal distribution varies be- tween 1200 and 3850 m, with most records between 2000 and 3000 m. The collecting localities are scattered over a vast region encompassing large parts of the western and central highlands (Yalden et al. 1976). D. mystacalis oc- curs in the vegetational zone of Woina Dega (ca. 1500-2300 m), including the (so-called) Highland Zone and the lower Montane Zone. Above Woina Dega the species ascends up to 2300-3300 m, reaching parts of the upper Montane and lower Temperate Zone (Rupp 1980). Habitat. "This species has been recorded from a wide range of altitudes (900-3200 m) but is nearly always as- sociated with long grass and ; (Yalden et al. 1976). In the Menagesha Forest, Bekele (1996) found mystacalis in bush vegetation (dominant plant Carissa editlis). Preferred habitats in the Simien Mountains Na- tional Park are Giant Heath (Erica arbórea) forests with thick undergrowth (Müller 1977; Muhmenthaler 1999; Wehrli 1999).
