Note: The specific epithet burkinabensis (sic) has been corrected because the Latin suffix -ensis is used only to indicate geographic locations, not the inhabitants (the etymology of the epithet burkinabensis, given by Ouattara et al. 1992 (see: ¤), was N.L. adj. burkinabensis, from Burkinabe, inhabitants of Burkina Faso, West Africa).
