Comment:
Comments: There are two widely separated (approximately 1600 km) allopatric populations of Poiana: the congo population (P. richardsonii), and the West African population, which Rosevear (1974) raised to the specific level (P. leightoni). Poiana records are few and scattered; however, recent reviews place leightoni as a separate species (de Beaufort, 1965; Gaubert et al., 2002b; Kingdon, 1977; Michaelis, 1972)
