Evans (1937: 21-22) retains "galenus", "intermixtus", "opalinus", and "biseriata" as forms. In view of the variation in the series of galenus in Carnegie Museum, these names cannot be retained as geographic subspecies. All material is best referred to as galenus.
Berger (1962: 449) indicates this species is common in Guinea and Ivory Coast (including one he refers to "intermixtus"). The range of the species as recorded by Evans (1937: 21-22) is Sierra Leone and Guinea to Gabon and east into East Africa.
The first Liberian records for this species are: Yendamalahoun. 1 9 , IV, and Wanau Forest, 1 2 , X (both Fox).
There is comparative material in Carnegie Museum from Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, Uganda and Kenya.
