REMARKS
Schmalfuss & Ferrara (1978)
indicate that
Congophiloscia saothomensis
lacks coloration, perhaps due to its conservation in ethanol. We were able to observe live specimens and they present a yellowish-white coloration, except for the ocular apparatus, which are black. It is only known from
São Tomé
, being cited from Zampalma and São Nicolau (
Schmalfuss & Ferrara 1978
;
Ferrara & Schmalfuss 1985
).
