TYPE
LOCALITY
.— “
Fernando Po
”,
Bioko
,
Equatorial Guinea
.
DISTRIBUTION
.— It occupies the tropical forest of the Gulf of
Guinea
region from
Cameroon
to
Gabon
,
Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo
. In
Equatorial Guinea
, this species occurs both on Bioko and in
Río Muni
. Within Bioko it has been recorded from several localities (
Mertens 1965
;
Boulenger 1900
), while it is only known from two localities in the continental region of
Río Muni
(
Boulenger 1903
;
De la Riva 1994
) (
Map 13A
).
COMMENTS
.— Populations from
Río Muni
appear morphologically different from those on Bioko and in
Cameroon
. Phylogenetic relationships within the genus were studied by
Liedtke et al. (2016)
based on molecular data.
