Conservation: CITES – Appendix III ( Ghana); IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Not mentioned in Schlitter (1989).

Discussion: See Misonne (1974, pt. 6:4-5). Distribution in Côte d’Iroire formerly questionable, but occurrence confirmed by Fischer et al. (2002). Taxa fraseri , imperator and nigrensis were considered "valid as a race" by Rosevear (1969); beldeni , neavei and perustus were considered "well defined subspecies" by Verheyen (1968); laticeps and squamicaudus are synonyms of fraseri ( Allen 1939) ; fortior is a synonym of jacksoni (Verheyen 1968) . There is no proof of the validity of subspecies (A. C. Schunke, in litt.).
