TYPE LOCALITY.— “ 5 miles inland from Kribi, S. Cameroon ” .

DISTRIBUTION.— This species is present in southwestern Cameroon and in Equatorial Guinea, where it has been recorded at Monte Alén by De la Riva (1994) (as Phrynodon sandersoni ). There are no records of this species from Bioko ( Map 23A ).

COMMENTS.— This species was erroneously cited by Mertens (1968) from Bioko based on four specimens misidentified as P. africanus and subsequently deleted from the faunal list of Bioko by Böhme (1994).

SPECIMENS EXAMINED.— No specimens of this species were found in the collections examined by us in this study.
