Distribution. This species is widespread across the forests from Guinea to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded from Río Muni at Monte Alén National Park ( Lasso et al. 2002) ( Map 26C View MAPS 26 ).
Comments. Two subspecies are currently recognized: A. modestus modestus and A. modestus ubangensis Boulenger, 1897 . The latter only occurs from Uganda to the Democatric Republic of the Congo. The morphological traits of the Equatoguinean specimens examined by us are congruent with the nominal subspecies (i.e., only the sixth upper labial in contact with the parietal).
Specimens examined. Thirteen specimens. Río Muni: Bata, 1987 ( EBD 27517) ; Miboman (road from Bata to Niefang) ( EBD 24968) ; Miboman (road to Niefang), 29 July 1984 ( EBD 20944) ; Miboman (road Bata-MovoNiefang), August 1987 (EBD 27526, EBD 27538) ; San Joaquín de Ndyiacom , 01 August 1987 ( EBD 25030–25032 View Materials ) ; Miboman (Bata-Niefang) ( EBD 25033–25034 View Materials ) ; San Joaquín de Ndyiacom , 22 February 1988 ( EBD 27737) ; San Joaquín de Ndyiacom ( EBD 27532–27533 View Materials ) .
