Maps of southern Africa showing the known distribution of Kheper cupreus (Laporte de Castelnau, 1840) with the type localities of Kheper namibicus Krajcik, 2006 (black squares), Kariba specimen (Deschodt et al. 2011) (black diamond) and the localities of the photographed Opuwo and Orapa specimens (black stars). Old but non-validated reports (Ferreira 1972) suggest a distribution extending northwards to southern Congo (DRC) (Lubumbashi), southern Tanzania (Kigonsera) and central Mozambique (Tete) (black triangles). However, the Congo and Tanzania records, especially, need to be validated since a close relative, Kheper rolciki Pokorný & Zidek, 2015, occurs nearby in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania. A, showing the altitude with darker blue indicating higher and darker green indicating lower altitudes; B, showing the average temperature with lighter blue indicating cooler and darker blue indicating higher average temperatures. Temperature and altitude data is from Fick & Hijmans (2017).	FIGURE 1.
