Species list for the region spanning South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland. Endemic status: 0 indicates no
endemism to southern Africa; 1 indicates endemism to southern Africa; 2 indicates endemism to the region (South
Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland). Two species whose status in the region is unclear, and which probably occur only
marginally, are indicated as “marginal”. The relevant IUCN status categories are Critically Endangered (CR),
Endangered (EN), Vulnerable (VU), Near Threatened (NT), Data Deficient (DD) and Least Concern (LC). All species
without a category shown are Not Evaluated (NE).
Probability of occurence: L = Low, M = Medium, H = High, R = Recorded
