No full textCynisca muelleri (Strauch, 1881) Amphisbaena mülleri Strauch, 1881: 369, 389. HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is known to occur from Ghana to Sierra Leone. Matschie (1893) suggested that Cynisca muelleri is present also in Togo. However, no records are known, and we failed to find it as well.Published as part of Segniagbeto, Gabriel Hoinsoude, Trape, Jean-François, Afiademanyo, Komlan M., Rödel, Mark-Oliver, Ohler, Annemarie, Dubois, Alain, David, Patrick, Meirte, Danny, Glitho, Isabelle Adolé, Petrozzi, Fabio & Luiselli, Luca, 2015, Checklist of the lizards of Togo (West Africa), with comments on systematics, distribution, ecology, and conservation, pp. 381-402 in Zoosystema 37 (2) on page 397, DOI: 10.5252/z2015n2a7, http://zenodo.org/record/457780

PNAE (2002) and Chirio & LeBreton (2007) list this species for Togo without mentioning any specific record. Trape et al. (2012) indicated that this species may occur in Togo since the westernmost record was near Accra, Ghana.Published as part of Segniagbeto, Gabriel Hoinsoude, Trape, Jean-François, Afiademanyo, Komlan M., Rödel, Mark-Oliver, Ohler, Annemarie, Dubois, Alain, David, Patrick, Meirte, Danny, Glitho, Isabelle Adolé, Petrozzi, Fabio & Luiselli, Luca, 2015, Checklist of the lizards of Togo (West Africa), with comments on systematics, distribution, ecology, and conservation, pp. 381-402 in Zoosystema 37 (2) on page 394, DOI: 10.5252/z2015n2a7, http://zenodo.org/record/457780

DISTRIBUTION. — This species was not recorded fromTogo till recently. Leaché et al. (2006) found it in the mountain forests between Togo and Ghana.
