COMMENTS. — Populations from Bioko represent an independent lineage from those from mainland Cameroon (authors’ unpublished data).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 distinctive species. SPECIMENS EXAMINED. — Illadji River, Bioko, 03 ° 19 ʹ 46.04 ʺN, 08 ° 40 ʹ 26.13 ʺE, 13 November 2003 (MNCN 48862 – 48868).
