Comment:
Status: CITES - Appendix III (Ghana); IUCN - Lower Risk (nt) as E. ebii and as E. wilsoni
Comment:
Comments: E. ebii and E. wilsoni were formerly considered distinct species by Perret and Aellen (1956), Verheyen (1959), and Rosevear (1969), but Kuhn (1964) revised the genus and concluded that they are conspecific
Comment:
CITES: Removed from Appendix III by Ghana, removed in accordance with CITES Article XVI, paragraph 3, effective June 23, 2010
