COMMENTS. — The taxonomic identity of L. brevipes (Boulenger, 1906) (only known from its type locality at Musola, Bioko) has been problematic (Mertens 1965; Lötters et al. 2005; Channing & Rödel 2019). This taxon has been recently synonymized with L. brevirostris based on morphological and molecular evidences (Bell et al. 2019). SPECIMENS EXAMINED. — 1 specimen. Besabeba (02 º 10´N 10 º 12´E), orilla del río Campo en la confluencia, centro sur, Kie-Ntem, 24 September 1985 (EBD 21011).

DISTRIBUTION. — This species is widespread over the rainforests of the Gulf of Guinea region, from southern Nigeria to Gabon and Democratic Republic of Congo. In Equatorial Guinea, it has been recorded from Bioko (Boulenger 1906 a; Mertens 1965; Hydeman et al. 2017; Bell et al. 2019) and Río Muni (Boulenger 1900; De la Riva 1994), where our revision adds a new record (Map 8 A).
