Description
Atheris squamigera (Hallowell, 1854)
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — No available specimen.
DISTRIBUTION. — Werner (1898) recorded four specimens of this species from Togo. Ernst & Rödel (2002) confirmed the presence of this species in Togo on the basis of a specimen deposited in ZMB (ZMB 13777) and collected in “ Togo ” (no specified locality). If it really originates from the country as currently defined, this specimen would represent the westernmost locality of this arboreal viper which is otherwise characteristic of the forests of Central Africa. Additional collection would allow us to confirm the occurrence of this species within the modern borders of Togo.
