MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 2 specimens : Liberia . No precise locality, ZMB 38683. Ghana . Koforidua ZMB 45223. DISTRIBUTION. — We never recorded this species during our surveys. Its overall distribution, ranging from Liberia to RDC (Matschie 1893; Chirio & LeBreton 2007 ), as well as a specimen from Koforidua, Ghana (ZMB 45223), a locality close to the border of Togo , suggests that it should be present in Togo . In Ivory Coast this arboreal forest species is also known to occur in plantations (Rödel 1996).
