REMARKS

32 specimens from the 2011 Liberia expedition were collected but not sequenced and released with their HF measured.Their hindfoot measurements (Min: 22.7 mm; Max: 27.1 mm) indicated the probable presence of the two species in Tailings 1, 4, 7, Bentor 1, ENNR16. The specimens collected by Gautun are preserved as skin and skull at MNHN (MNHN-ZM-MO-1997-1544 to 1561) and they display hindfoot lengths between 23 and 28 mm, they were found in Ziela and Nimba, with no further precisions. They probably belong either to P. rostratus or P. tullbergi .
