Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This is a very rare and seldom-seen species, known only from Angola, Gabon and the DRC. It is very similar to P. inclemens that inhabits the east coast of Africa. It would be very useful to obtain specimens for DNA analyses as the two are undoubtedly closely related, but seem to occupy different sides of the continent! Virtually nothing is known about this species, apart from a few old isolated records.
