The form lobatus is currently still accepted to be a valid subspecies of R. landeri , occurring from Sudan and Ethiopia, southwards to the former Transvaal ( RSA) ( Happold 2013g: 340). The nominate subspecies (R. l. landeri ) occurs from Gambia to Cameroon and further south to the mouth of the Congo River. This means that the specimens from Banana (RMCA 20746 and 20747) and from 74 km on the Banana-Boma Road (RMCA 20643 to 20653) might be assigned to R. landeri landeri and all other specimens to R. l. lobatus . The distribution map presented by Happold (2013g: 340) suggests there might be a connection between the eastern and western populations in the DRC, but that is not yet supported by evidence. Based on climatic data, the SDM map suggests that there probably might not be a direct connection between the eastern and western populations, but that the latter could be connected to the specimens from Angola, which implies that the specimens from the Kongo Central Province may possibly be assigned to R. l. angolensis Seabra, 1898 . To resolve the subspecific status of these specimens, further material from western Gabon, Congo, Angola and DRC is required.
