It is distributed from West Africa at Sierra Leone to East Africa at Democratic Republic of the Congo , and southward to Angola . There are no published records for Equatorial Guinea ( Map 18C ). Comments. We provide the first record of this species for Equatorial Guinea . The specimen housed in the MNCN was collected during the “Expedición Pittaluga”, which took place across Equatorial Guinea in 1909. During this expedition, Pedro Bengoa collected some specimens of Natriciteres fuliginoides and Python sebae at Río Utoche (southern Río Muni ), close to the locality where the specimen MNCN 46190 of Dasypeltis fasciata was found (at Vermakoyo) three days earlier. Pittaluga (1910) provided a map with both locality names, currently out-of-date. Specimens examined. One specimen. Río Muni : “Wermakofo” (=Vermakoyo), 07 August 1909 ( MNCN 46190 ) .
