Koopman (1989: 9) indicated that he believed that the larger forms of the genus Myopterus ( daubentonii, senegalensis and albatus) are all the same species. Adam et al. (1993: 317) suggested that M. albatus might only be a mere subspecies of M. daubentonii . This view was also followed by Simmons (2005: 446) and Fahr (2013i: 476). Besides the specimens from Bunia (Ituri Province), Niangara (Haut-Uélé Province) and the Uélé River mentioned by Hayman et al. (1966: 68, map 113), no further representatives

of this species are known from the CRB area. The distribution map provided by Fahr (2013i: 477) includes additional specimens from northern Central African Republic, Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal.
