,
27.17E
(

COMMENTS
:
Chapin
cited the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
in the original description and listed the specimens he examined. In addition to the
holotype
from Medje, the following
paratypes
are in
AMNH
: Bafwasende, adult male,
AMNH 160093
;
Avakubi, adult males,
AMNH 160096–160098
;
Bafwabaka, adult male,
AMNH 160094
, adult females,
AMNH 160099
and 160100
;
Medje, adult female,
AMNH 160101
;
and
Assobam
,
Cameroon
, adult male,
AMNH 156090
.
An
adult male and female
paratype
from
Bitze
,
Cameroon
, were borrowed by
Chapin
from
ANSP
. I did not find a second adult female from Medje that Chapin listed, nor had it been cataloged at
AMNH
. It, too, may have been borrowed
.
