.— “
Republic of Equatorial Guinea

road, northeast slope of
Pico Basilé
,
03°37′42.4″N
,
08°48′11″E
, ca.

.
DISTRIBUTION
.— This species was known only from some localities of the Pico Basilé region (
Blackburn 2010
), from where it was presumably endemic, but we record an additional population from
Bioko Sur province
, close to Caldera de Luba surroundings (
Map 2B
).
COMMENTS
.— This species is currently the only known endemic amphibian of
Equatorial Guinea
. The additional record provided herein represents the southernmost known locality for this species. The identity of the single examined specimen, a female, was also confirmed by molecular analyses (authors unpublished data).
