Encentridophorus (Encentridophorus) tumidus Walter, 1937

New records. Ghana. 2/14/0, Amansuri Wetland, 5°00.398′ N 2°35.162′ W, 12 m a.s.l., 26

Feb. 2013; 0/6/0, shallow part Amansuri Wetland, 4°59.635′ N 2°35.417′ W, 26 Feb. 2011 ;

0/1/0, Inlet Volta River at Kpong, 6°09.183′ N 0°03.709′ E, 25 m a.s.l., 27 Feb. 2013.

Remarks. The assignment of this species is uncertain. Cook (1966) tentatively assigned specimens from Liberia to this species, which was described by Walter (1937) based on the female only. The specimens from Ghana match the description of Cook (1966) well.

Distribution. Angola ( Walter 1937), Liberia (Cook 1966), Ghana (this study).
