Discussion: A tropical evergeen riverine forest species morphologically related to P. jacksoni and occurring sympatrically with it ( Van der Straeten and Dudu, 1990). Dudu et al. (1997) documented data covering reproductive biology for this distinctive species. Mutoni is a Swahili word for riverbank or wet area (mto or muto = river), and refers to the typical biotype where the specimens were trapped ( Van der Straeten and Dudu, 1990).
