Conraua derooi Hulselmans, 1972
This species includes all records of Conraua alleni from eastern Ghana and Togo (Rödel and Schiøtz 2004).
Clarke (1981) provides an extensive treatment of the osteology of Conraua in relation to other “ranine” genera and species. However, while he discusses C. alleni, C. beccarii, C. crassipes, and C. goliath as well as members of several other genera, (Clarke 1981), his analysis does not include material from C. derooi, potentially limiting the extent to which his conclusions for Conraua apply to this species.
Conraua derooi is hunted for human consumption where it occurs in both Ghana and Togo (Hillers et al. 2009).
