Morphological characters

The species name rutilans used by Eisentraut (1968) for some specimens of Mt Oku is no longer valid and has been replaced by poensis ( Musser & Carleton 2005) . We collected five new specimens fitting well with the holotype of G. poensis described by Eisentraut (1965) from Bioko ( Table 8). The adult females examined (n = 3) all possessed a mammary formula of 0 + 2. Grammonys poensis is present all over the CVL mountains of Cameroon from Mt Oku to Mt Cameroon, as well as in Bioko ( Eisentraut 1973), Mt Kupe ( Denys et al. 2009) and Mamfé ( Sanderson 1940).
