.
Remarks.
The adult specimen of Luembe was sampled in a forest (registered information).
Gomes Alves (1959)
recorded this specimen for River Muka (Luanda Province), but it was an erroneous interpretation of the register book of IICT which gives the following information: “Rio Muka (afluente do Luembe—Lunda NE)”= [Muka River (tributary of Luembe—Lunda NE]. The true tributary of Luembe (River) is Muita River, not Muka River. Moreover, the reference to Lunda NE reinforces this interpretation. Some ecological remarks were provided for the subspecies
