Loveridge (1933, 1957) considered it as a subspecies of currori, whereas de Witte and Laurent 
(1942b, 1943), considered a full species, as did Brygoo and Roux-Esteve (1893). The distribution 
of F. elegans in Angola is probably limited to Cabinda region, and some isolated parts of the 
Congolian Forest-Savanna in northern regions of the country. The “Mossamedes” record in the 
extreme southwestern region of the country cited by Bocage (1867c) surely represents a misiden- 
tification or incorrect locality.

Large-Scaled Feylinia 
Feylinia Currori Gray 1845:129: Lectotype, BMNH 1946.8.13.79 (collector J. Curror) designated by Brygoo 
and Roux-Esteve (1983). Type locality: “Angola.” 
Feylinia eurrori grandisquamis Muller 1910:591. Syntypes, ZSM 413/1909 [5 specimens], probably lost fide 
Brygoo and Roux-Esteve (1983). Type locality: “Dibongo bei Edea” Cameroon. 
Feylinia eurrori grandisquamis: Schmidt (1919:607). 
Feylinia elegans grandisquamis: de Witte and Laurent (1942b: 108), Laurent (1964a:84). 
Feylinia grandisquamis: Brygoo and Roux-Esteve (1983:330), Chirio and LeBreton (2007:236). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Not Evaluated. 
Global distribution: The species is known from lowland areas in dense forests, extending 
from Cameroon to northern Angola and Central , 2 “e i6'e 2 o°e 24 -e 
Africa. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 201): The 
species occurs in the north of the country. 
Zaire: “Cabra, Kakongo” [-6.7500, 12.6500] 
(Brygoo and Roux-Esteve 1983:331). Unde¬ 
termined Locality: “Cuango” (Laurent 
1964a:84) (Malanje Province, impossible to 
georeferenced. See History Section for more 
detailed information). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Brygoo and Roux-Esteve (1983) plotted the 
locality “Cabra, Kakongo” in Zaire Province, 
however Kakongo could also refer to the river 
of the same name (or related places) in Cabin¬ 
da. We are unaware of any definitive informa¬ 
tion that would confirm which locality was 
intended, but here follow Brygoo and Roux- 
Esteve (1983).
