Poromera fordii (Hallowell, 1857): Boulenger 1887: 6.

Distribution. It occurs in Central Africa, from Cameroon to Central African Republic, southward to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded in Bioko at Bonyoma (at 450 m a.s.l.) and Parador (North of Musola) (Mertens 1968), and in Río Muni at Cabo San Juan (Boulenger 1905), Benito River (Boulenger 1900, 1921), and Monte Alén National Park (Lasso et al. 2002) (Map 17C).

Comments. Photographic records by Twan Leenders from Los Altos de Nsork National Park are available in “https://calphotos.berkeley.edu/”, likely belonging to one of the specimens catalogued as “YPM HERR 014402” and “YPM HERR 014402” held in the Yale University Peabody Museum.

Specimens examined. One specimen. Río Muni: Cabo San Juan, likely part of the material examined by Boulenger (1905) (MNCN 7983).
