Any Central African forest seems to contain one to three representatives of the genus, and places without known records have most probably never been searched adequately ( Fig. 32 ). Of the 44 currently known species, 37 occur in the area considered here. Except for S. fon Huber, 2013 (which ranges into West Africa) all of them are endemic to Central Africa.
