Ischnomantis werneri Giglio-Tos, 1916: 30.

Type locality. Bismarckburg, Togo.

Distribution. Guinea, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Togo, Cameroon, Sudan (Beier 1968; Giglio-Tos 1916; Prost & Roy 1986; Werner 1912).

Records. CSC: ♁, new station, 22.IV.–06.VI.2018, M. Pohl leg. (genitalia preparation Schwarz No. 490). SMNK: ♁, Comoé NP, XI.1994, S. Eggers leg. (SMNK-Mant. 04798).
