Distribution. This species is widespread across forests from Sierra Leone to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded from Bioko (Günther 1863a; Boulenger 1893) at Natividad (Hacienda Natividad), San Carlos (Bocage 1895 a, 1903; Loveridge 1958) and Musola (Boulenger 1906; Loveridge 1958; Capocaccia 1961a), and in Río Muni at Cabo San Juan (Boulenger 1905) and Monte Alén National Park (Lasso et al. 2002) (Map 26B).
Comments. The finding of the exact locality of the specimen MNCN 23814, collected from “Río Utoche” was possible thanks to the old geographic map of Río Muni provided by Gustavo Pittaluga (Pittaluga 1910). All the examined specimens present 17 scale rows at mid-body.
Specimens examined. Twenty-one specimens. Río Muni: without specific locality, but likely part of the material examined by Boulenger (1905) from Cabo San Juan (MNCN 23812, MNCN 23816); Río Utoche, 10 August 1909 (MNCN 23814); province of Litoral (without specific locality), 22 February 1988 (EBD 2774); Miboman, road to Niefang, 30 km from Bata, 14 October 1985 (EBD 20948); Miboman (road to Niefang), 29 March 1986 (EBD 20938), 14 October 1985 (EBD 20939), 08 July 1986 (EBD 20940), 08 July 1985 (EBD 20947); Miboman, October 1987 (EBD 27744); Miboman, 30 km from Niefang, 01 February 1987 (EBD 24979), without date (EBD 24980– 24981); Miboman (from Movo to Niefang), 1987 (EBD 25063); Miboman, April 1988 (EBD 27727); Miboman (road from Bata to Niefang), 28 July 1987 (EBD 27551); San Joaquín de Ndyiacom, October 1987 (EBD 27743); Litoral province (without specific locality) (EBD27740–27741); San Joaquín de Ndyiacom (road from Bata to Niefang), 25 June 1987 (EBD 27548); San Joaquín de Ndyiacom, September 1987 (EBD 27519).
