Description
Mimetillus thomasi Hinton, 1920
Fig. 43 A–B
Mimetillus thomasi Hinton, 1920: 240.
Although Fahr (2013o: 586) considers thomasi to be a subspecies of M. moloneyi, we follow Cotterill (2001b: 215), who proposed that the two are distinct evolutionary species, a view that was followed by Monadjem et al. (2010a: 390, 2010b: 444). The distribution map presented by Monadjem et al. (2010b: 444) indicates that M. thomasi occurs in the northern part of southern Africa, from Angola over southern DRC, Zambia and Zimbabwe to western and northern Mozambique. The DRC specimen from Elisabethville (= Lubumbashi, Haut-Katanga Province) reported here fits within this range.
