Scotobleps gabonicus Boulenger, 1900 Photo figure 7C

TYPE LOCALITY.— “ Benito River ”, Río Muni, Equatorial Guinea .

DISTRIBUTION.— It is distributed across the Gulf of Guinea region, from eastern Nigeria to Gabon and Democratic Republic of Congo. In Equatorial Guinea, it has been reported in Río Muni, at the type locality, at Cabo San Juan ( Boulenger 1903), and in Monte Alén ( De la Riva 1994). Our results provide several additional records, suggesting that this is a widespread species within continental Equatorial Guinea ( Map 6C ).

COMMENTS.— De la Riva et al. (2001) described the calls for Río Muni populations.

Miboman, Litoral Bata , 01 September 1984 ( EBD 18282 ), April 1988 and December 1977 ( EBD 28046 , 28059 , 28062–28065 , 28067 , 28069 , 28070 , 28071 ), April 1988 ( EBD 28075 , 28081 , 28079 , 28084 , 28073 , 28088 ), December 1987 ( EBD 28080 ) ; Miboman, Km 27 Bata–Niefang , October 1987 ( EBD 28068 , EBD 28077 ) ; San Joaquín de Ndyiacom , December 1987 ( EBD 28060 , 28061 ) ; Ayamiken ( EBD 27498 ) ; NvomNoayong, ( Evinayong-Aconibe ), 16 April 1987 ( EBD 25044 ) ; without data (two specimens from EBD labeled B9120, B9119) .
