TYPE
LOCALITY
.— “
Kamerun
(ein
Exemplar
aus
Victoria
, …)”
.
DISTRIBUTION
.— This species is widespread over the rainforests of the Gulf of
Guinea
region, from southern
Nigeria
to
Gabon
and
Democratic Republic of Congo
. In
Equatorial Guinea
, it has been recorded from Bioko (
Boulenger 1906a
;
Mertens 1965
;
Hydeman et al. 2017
;
Bell et al. 2019
) and
Río Muni
(
Boulenger 1900
;
De la Riva 1994
), where our revision adds a new record (
Map 8A
).
COMMENTS
.— The taxonomic identity of
L. brevipes
(
Boulenger, 1906
)
(only known from its
type
locality at Musola, Bioko) has been problematic (
Mertens 1965
;
Lötters et al. 2005
; Channing & Rödel 2019). This taxon has been recently synonymized with
L. brevirostris
based on morphological and molecular evidences (
Bell et al. 2019
).
