COMMENTS. — Populations from Bioko represent an independent lineage from those in mainland Cameroon (authors’ unpublished data). However, an integrative approach is necessary to test if this insular lineage is part of the geographically structured intraspecific variability or a different species. SPECIMENS EXAMINED. — One specimen. Moka, Bioko, 03 ° 20 ʹ 23.47 ʺN, 08 ° 40 ʹ 6.20 ʺE, 15 November 2003 (MNCN 50377).
