Conraua crassipes (Buchholz and Peters 1875)

Material: Two (2) specimens. Mboua: CAS 258277–78. Fig. 6D, E .

Comments: Conraua crassipes is closely associated with forested small tributaries of the Ogooué River. Individuals were found in shallow muddy substrate near the banks and detected by their eye-shine. This species is known from the following national parks: Crystal Mountains ( Lötters et al. 2001), Ivindo ( Frétey and Blanc 2001), Lopé ( Frétey and Blanc 2000), and Moukalaba-Doudou ( Burger et al. 2004). In 2015, we also encountered this species near Lambaréné (CAS 257993, 258019), Ndjolé (CAS 258084), Junkville (CAS 258122–23), and Lastoursville (CAS 258317).
