HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — Cophoscincopus simulans is a species typically living along and in small forest creeks ( Böhme et al. 2000, 2011; Rödel & Branch 2003). It is a diurnal lizard, that was collected repeatedly by us in the forêt de Misa-Höhe. Tornier (1901) also recorded specimens from the same region: Misa-Höhe and Bismarckburg (now Yégué in Adélé). Leaché et al. (2006) found this species in the forest zone of Togo Hills in Ghana.
