Type locality: “ Gabon ” [ Loveridge (1944) corrected the type locality to Gabon , originally given as “ Liberia , Western Africa”]. Thrasops flavigularis ( Hallowell, 1852 ) : Hallowell 1857: 67 . Hapsidophrys niger Günther, 1872: 25 . Type locality: “Gaboon”. Thrasops pustulatus Buchholz & Peters, 1875 in Peters (1875) : 199 . Type locality: “Cameruns; Mungo”. Distribution . It extends from Nigeria to the Democratic Republic of the Congo , south to northern Angola . In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded both in Bioko at Moka ( Boulenger 1906 ; Loveridge 1944 ; Capocaccia 1961a ; Mertens 1964a ) and in Río Muni at Cabo San Juan ( Boulenger 1905 ) and Monte Alén National Park ( Lasso et al. 2002 ) ( Map 23C ). Comments. The record of Dispholidus typus of Pérez del Val (2001) labelled as MNCN 19977, is a misidentification with a juvenile of T. flavigularis ( Figure 21B ). Because no confirmed records of D. typus exist in Equatorial Guinea , we remove it from the reptile species list of the country. Specimens examined. Eleven specimens.
