Distribution

A. holobrunnea was previously reported from Ghana and Guinea only ( Przybyłowicz and Bąkowski 2011) and, therefore, it was considered as an endemic to the western part of the Guinean subregion. Our record has enlarged its known range to over 1,000 km to the east. It has also evidenced the species’ presence in the eastern part of the Guinean region. In the Mount Cameroon region, the single individual was collected in the lowest locality (30 m a.s.l.) (Fig. 3 ).
