REMARK

A voucher of this species originating from Bismarckburg (Adéle) is presently stored in the ZMB. Both IUCN (2014) and Simmons (2005) do not account Togo as a presence country. Indeed, this species is recorded in East Africa ( Simmons 2005). Therefore, the correct identification of the ZMB voucher should be carefully investigated.
