Remarks.
Depicted in Nieden (1910b: 61, fig. 128) and Ahl (1931b: 391, fig. 266), copied from Nieden (1910a: 245, fig. 4). The holotype of R. riggenbachi was collected in January 1909 by the zoologist Riggenbach who accompanied the "Zoologisch-Botanische Kamerun-Expedition, 1908-1909" into the hinterland of Cameroon. The expedition started in Jabassi on Wuri River (15 to 16 November 1908) and went via Bamenda (17 December), the Bansso Mountains (29 December), Banjo (12 January 1909), the Genderu Mountains (20 February to 3 March), Gorua (13 to 23 April), the Lagdo Mountains (26 June) to Garua (11 to 20 August 1909). A map and itinerary of the expedition can be found in Reichenow (1911).
