Aurivillius, 1925 and Téocchi, 1994b both indicate the type specimen collection location of <i>P.</i> (<i>A.</i>) <i>gahani</i> as Kartoushi in the Semliki Valley of the former Zaire (Now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). It should also be noted that there are no collection records of <i>P.</i> (<i>A.</i>) <i>gahani</i> from Kenya (eg. Aurivillius, 1925; Téocchi, 1994b; Téocchi, 2000a; Delahaye <i>et al</i>., 2000; Téocchi <i>et al</i>., 2014a). We are thus of the belief that the “collection location label” has been mis applied to the NHRS type specimen. The comparison of the type specimens of <i>A. gahani</i> (NHRS) (Fig. 3a&b) and <i>P.</i> (<i>T.</i>) <i>matillai</i> from Equatorial Guinea, Evinayong (MNCN) (Fig. 3 c&d) leaves no doubt as to their synonymy.</p><p><i>Distribution</i>. – The known distribution for this species is Cameroon, DRC (type), Gabon and Ivory Coast (Téocchi, 2000a; Delahaye <i>et al</i>., 2000), and we have enhanced this by the addition of Equatorial Guinea (type).</p>
