COMMENTS: Neumann had the single specimen. The
type
of the earlier name introduced by Sousa was supposed to have come from
São Tomé Island
in the Gulf of Guinea, but the species has not been seen there since and the locality may have been incorrect or the
type
may have been a captive individual or from an introduced population that has since died out
; it is known only from
Angola
.
Dean (2000)
was not able to place this
type
locality.
