MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 7 specimens ( GHS-W 1094 , Sodo Zion; T 97-101 , Fazao; T 104 , Alédjo; T 146 , Agavé) .
MORPHOLOGY. — Charaters of GHS-W 1094: TL 115 mm; 14 MSR, smooth; 265 scales on a longitudinal row between the parietals and the tip of the tail.
DISTRIBUTION. — Additional specimens not yet deposited were obtained from Fazao and Aledjo (Aledjo Kadara). This species is thus present in ER II and IV but may also occur in other ecological regions of the country. Previously it had been mentioned from Togo by Matschie (1893), Sternfeld (1908b, 1909), Hulselmans & Verheyen (1970) on the basis of specimens collected at Kolokope in ER III. Trape & Mané (2006b) provided a regional distribution of this species.
