Bergmans (1988: 134) discussed the status of the two subspecies of E. wahlbergi and concluded that the size variations are of a clinal nature and the recognition of subspecies does not seem to be appropriate, a view which is also followed by Happold (2013c).

The records in Hayman et al. (1966: 24) were primarily from the southern half of the DRC, with two specimens from Rutshuru (Nord-Kivu Province - INPBC V1346 and V1636), and one specimen from Ibembo (Bas-Uélé Province - RMCA 20278). The additional material we report on, is also from the southern part of the DRC, but also from the Nord-Kivu and South-Kivu Provinces, as well as from Burundi and Rwanda. The locality of a further central Congolese specimen (RMCA 18844b from Bokungu in Tshuapa Province) is rather unexpected, as Bergmans (1988: 131) stated that E. wahlbergi is not found moist forests.
