This locality is here interpreted as being near the village of Buhororo (Bujumbura), in northern Burundi, based on its relative proximity to Parc National de la Kibira. This area represents a plausible ecological extension of the species habitat from Nyungwe National Park (the type locality) along the same forest block.</p>
