In Equatorial Guinea, P. vulpiae has been recorded (considered as P. newtonii ) in two localities from Monte Alén ( De la Riva 1994) ( Map 21A View MAPS ).

COMMENTS.— Taxonomical problems relating to this and other taxa such as P. johnstoni and P. newtonii were discussed by Barej et al. (2010; 2014) and Sánchez-Vialas et al. (2018).

SPECIMENS EXAMINED.— No specimens were found in the collections examined by us.
