Distribution and remarks: a Lower Guinea endemic found in the Kouilou, Loeme, Lombo (tributary of the Loeme) and Chiloango in the Cabinda enclave of Angola and in western Democratic Republic of the Congo. This species is probably absent from Gabon: all specimens from Gabon are probably misidentifications of similar undescribed species (Chirio and Van der Zee, pers. com.).
