The species is very polychromatic,presenting a wide distribution throughout WestAfrica(Beinhundner 2017b; Schoolmeesters 2019). Some biodiversity information (e.g. abundance, habitat preference) were provided for GHA by Mudge et al. (2012). The adult specimens in Coli were sampled by BT and CT (Figs. 2a, b) in open secondary forest (Fig. 2e) together with P. ardoini, C. pectoralis and Diphrontis cruenta Gerstaecher, 1883. It is a new species record for GAB, QUN and TOB Administrative Regions of Guinea-Bissau.
