In Namibia, it was only recorded in four quarterdegree squares in woodland associated with the Okavango River and Linyanti Swamps. It occupies an area of only 2,100 km2 in Namibia, of which 26% occurs in the protected areas of Mahango in the Bwabwata National Park. Little is known of the biology of this naturally rare species, but it is not thought to be a conservation priority in Namibia or elsewhere.
