Remark . The externally rather characterless M. pyrrhosoma was described from Ghana based on a single female specimen. As only additional female specimens are present in the ANHRT collection, the male remains unknown. Distribution . The species was known only from its holotype from Biakpa, Ghana ( Hacker et al. 2012 ). The specimens from Ivory Coast and Liberia represent new country records.
