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 About AMNH ; Avakubi, adult males, AMNH 160096–160098 About AMNH ; Bafwabaka, adult male, AMNH 160094 About AMNH , adult females, AMNH 160099 About AMNH and 160100 ; Medje, adult female, AMNH 160101 About AMNH ; and Assobam , Cameroon, adult male, AMNH 156090 About AMNH . 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 .
