This species is commonly found on elephants ( Loxodonta africana ). In Gabon, it has previously been found in Libreville and Tchibanga (1930, CBpt). We collected A. tholloni in LopØ from tree branches and by the sledge method. In Sebe, we also collected a male of this species from Atherurus africanus .
