Hayman et al. (1966: 45, map 52) mention only three specimens from two localities in the DRC in the collection of the BMNH: the Ituri River (Ituri Province) and Ngombe (Kasaï Province). The first one is probably BMNH 1930.11.11.144, but the second one could not be traced, and is, therefore, not plotted on the distribution map ( Fahr 2013e: 384 also indicated that this specimen needs re-examination). We did find some additional specimens from Epulu (Ituri Province) and Yalosemba (Mongala Province), which resulted in the northern distribution of the species. Fahr (2013e: 384) plotted an additional locality near Yalosemba, but south of the Congo River, which could not be traced.
