Distribution and remarks: known from the upper Dja and upper Sangha River systems ( Congo Basin). In Lower Guinea, found on the southern inland plateau of southern Cameroon and adjacent Equatorial Guinea, in the upper and middle Nyong and probably also in northern Gabon (Ntem). A population at Bitam have been found and might be a new species (Chirio, pers. com.).

On the genus Plataplochilus : this genus is still badly known and several new species have to be described. A study is currently in progress and the known distribution will probably change completely for some species.
