Comments: This is a common terrestrial species in lowland forests. All individuals were encountered associated with small to medium-sized, forested streams. This species is widespread across Central Africa, north of the Congo River. In Gabon, this species is known from Ivindo NP ( Frétey and Blanc 2000), Loango NP ( Burger et al. 2006), and Moukalaba-Doudou NP ( Burger et al. 2004). In 2015 we also collected vouchers in Moyen-Ogooué province near Lambaréné (CAS 257988, 257994) and Ndjolé (CAS 258051, 258096). This species was collected along Onangué Lake in 2013 (by R.
