Abstract
Side-striped Jackal, Lupulella adusta (Sundevall, 1847), occurs in a vast area within sub-Saharan Africa. In South Africa, the current geographical distribution is limited to eastern coastal regions. Recent sightings from north-central areas of the country suggest a wider geographical distribution. Here we report on 5,130 confirmed, repeated detections of Side-striped Jackal. Of these, 3,625 captures were from 471 new locations not previously recorded in the scientific literature, thereby expanding their current geographical distribution. These new records were captured in 33 vegetation types, including the forest and grassland biomes where they are not commonly detected.
