Abstract

Nineteen new country records for Liberia, eleven for Ivory Coast, two for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and three from Equatorial Guinea (Bioko) are presented. The following new combination is proposed: Entosthodon cameruniae (Dixon) N.Wilding ex Frank Müll., comb. nov. (Basionym: Funaria cameruniae Dixon). Figure plates are presented for Entosthodon cameruniae and Trachypodopsis normandii. The latter one, an endemic of mountainous areas of West Africa and hitherto only known from Fouta Djallon in Guinea and the Loma Mountains in Sierra Leone could be the first record for the Nimba Mountains of Liberia.
