Comments: Reported from the Cross River in Nigeria (Ref. 31256). Map in Ref. 57223 also shows presence in the Benue (lower Niger basin), but this seems questionable as not confirmed in the text in Ref. 57223 or other sources (such as Ref. 13094, 81251). Further more, the digital version of Ref. 57223, supplied with the book, gives another point in the lower basin, not given in either the text or the map in the book.
