Although not separately listed in their catalog part, Hayman et al. (1966: 57) refer to this species, as Koopman (1965: 31) mentioned a specimen from Lukolela (Mai-Ndombe Province) in the AMNH. Two additional specimens have been collected since then: one from Wafanya (Tshuapa Province) and one from Irangi (Sud-Kivu Province). Fahr (2013t: 732) indicated that K. phalaena is mainly recorded from the rainforest zones in western and central Africa, with outlying records from the Afromontane- Afroalpine zones in northeastern DRC and western Uganda and from the Guinea Savanna BZ in Côte d’Ivoire. This is confirmed by our map, which is based on climatic data and suggests that K. phalaena might occur even further to the east.
