No precise locality,
ZMB

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).
