Fornasinius higginsi (Westwood, 1874)

Maquart & Malec (2017) mention Goliathus (Fornasinius) higginsi , as being reported from Ghana in Mudge et al. (2012), but this citation is incorrect. Fornasinius higginsi , however, is recorded from Ghana in Beinhundner (2017) and is known from the Eastern and Western regions (D. Moore, M. De Palma, personal communication). The other Fornasinius species known from Ghana, F. klingbeili Zöller, Fiebig & Schulze, 1995 is known from the Eastern and Volta Regions as well as neighboring Togo, where the larvae were collected in hyrax (Afrotheria: Hyracoidea) middens ( Maquart & Malec 2017).
