The species is widespread throughout West and Southwest Africa ( Schoolmeesters 2019 ). The adult specimens of GBI were collected by CT and LT ( e.g. Figs. 2b, c ) in dry open forests ( e.g . Canchungo—Caió, Bissorã—Binar, Xitole, Mampatá—Cumbijã, Banhinda) or moist primary forest (Jemberem) ( e.g . Fig. 2f ). See also the remarks under E. variolosa . The species was frequently found in the flowers of a Zingiberaceae at Kindu ( Burgeon 1946 ). Biodiversity information ( e.g. abundance, habitat preference) was provided for GHA by Joly (2018) . The species, like others of this genus, seems to be crepuscular or even nocturnal ( e.g. Ricchiardi & Gyll 2009 ). It is a new species record for CAC , OIO , QUN and TOB Administrative Regions of Guinea-Bissau .
