Figure 10C, 11A

Riopa rohdei (Müller, 1910): Mertens 1968: 77.
Panaspis rohdei (Müller, 1910): Fuhn 1972: 263.
Leptosiaphos (Lacertaspis) rohdei (Müller, 1910): Broadley 1989: 441.
Lacertaspis rohdei (Müller, 1910): Perret 1975.
Distribution. It extends across Central Africa, from Cameroon to Gabon and Republic of the Congo. In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded in Río Muni at Monte Alén National Park (Lasso et al. 2002) (Map 11B).
Comments. There are no records of Lacertaspis rohdei in Bioko. Mertens (1968) found colour differences between the populations of L. rohdei from Mt. Cameroon and Mt. Kupe. As Mertens (1968) did not compare nor mention specimens of L. rohdei from Bioko in his work, it seems that the reference to Mertens (1968) made by Schmitz et al. (2005) is a mistake.
Specimens examined. Two specimens. Río Muni: imprecise locality (from Nsork, Nvom or Campo River), 1986–1987 (EBD 25052_B-4925, EBD 25055).
