Bogert (1942) reviewed the Genus Pseudohaje 
and considered the species Pseudohaje goldii 
Boulenger, 1895 to be confined to West African 
forests. Additional distributional data on 
P. goldii are presented in the maps in Spawls 
and Branch (1995), Spawls et al. (2004), Chip¬ 
paux (2006) and Dobiey and Vogel (2007). 
Broadley (1990) presented evidence refuting Map 338. Distribution of ftewJo/jaye go/ J// in Angola. 
the occurrence of R goldii in Namibia as proposed by Mertens (1955). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Not Evaluated. 
Global distribution: The species is known from west and central African forests, from Nige¬ 
ria in the northwest, eastward through Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo to Ugan¬ 
da, western Kenya, and possibly Rwanda (Spawls et al. 2004) and southward to northern Angola.
