Comments:
A relatively rarely encountered species in Kokolopori. Foam nests with adults sitting nearby were observed on vegetation in secondary forest during both the wet and dry seasons (
May 2018
,
Jul 2020
).
Some
foam nests were found almost on the ground near a swamp.
It
is not known how far into the
Central Congolian
forests this species is distributed, however some specimens in the
RMCA
are also from the more western province of
Équateur
.
