Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (nt)
Comment:
Comments: A tropical evergeen riverine forest species morphologically related to P. jacksoni and occurring sympatrically with it (Van der Straeten and Dudu, 1990). Dudu et al. (1997) documented data covering reproductive biology for this distinctive species. Mutoni is a Swahili word for riverbank or wet area (mto or muto = river), and refers to the typical biotype where the specimens were trapped (Van der Straeten and Dudu, 1990)
