Monza alberti Holland, 1896 This species is widespread through the tropical rain forest belt from Sierra Leone to western Kenya (Evans 1937, Ackery et al. 1995) and north-western Tanzania (Congdon & Collins 1998). Holland (1896) gives the type localities as valley of the Ogové [Gabon], Cameroon, and Sierra Leone. Evans (1937) notes some variation in spotting and size of adults and illustrates five pairs of different male claspers. Lindsey & Miller (1965) examined a range of material from West Africa and found that the slightly asymmetrical claspers of male genitalia fall into ‘a number of patterns’ (they illustrate five), apparently uncorrelated with differences in adult appearance or geographic distribution. Larsen (2005) acknowledges this variation, ‘just possibly encompassing several closely related species, but it will be a daunting proposition to prove this either way, demanding long series of sympatric material from several different localities and probably study of the early stages’ and ... : Published as part of Cock, Matthew J.
