Remarks: The validity of this species and its specific dis- tinctness from A. niger was proven by Wallach (1994), lastly based on the sympatric occurence of both species "from the same rainforest locality" near Mt.

Remarks: Ineich (2003) listed several specimens from the IFAN and MNHN collections from localities in the Mt. Nimba range, but did not include A. aterrima in his pa- per, although Rasmussen (2005) found several vouchers of this last named species in both collections.
