Taxonomy notes

previously included L. mediterraneus, L. schlumbergeri, and populations now attributed to L. saharae; populations in North and West Africa from Egypt to Morocco, Mali, and Mauritania, as well as Sardinia, are now attributed to these three species, but populations from east Africa and Asia are tentatively retained under L. capensis until further taxonomic work is done, since they likely also represent distinct species or synonyms of other species (L. mediterraneus may include more east African populations, while Asian populations appear to be similar to L. tolai or L. oiostolus); it is likely that true L. capensis only exists in Southern Africa
