Comments: Lycophidion meleagre has a disjointed distribution, having been recorded from northwestern Angola , northeastern Tanzania , southeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo , and southeastern Kenya ( Marques et al. 2018 ), although Branch (2018) comments the Tanzanian records need to be critically reviewed. Ferreira (1904) cited a juvenile specimen of “ Lycophidium meleagris ” from “Cabiri”, commenting that it was a very rare species, represented then by only two specimens extant in the Natural History Museum London and one in the Lisbon museum. Although we find the specimen to be an adult, it is likely that it matches the one Ferreira published, as Newton was in Cabiri in September 1903 .
