CommentDistribution: Not in Mali fide Trape & Mané 2017. One specimen from Sébékourani was attributed erroneously to Myriopholis rouxestevae (Trape & Mané, 2004) in the distribution map of Trape & Mané (2006)

There are apparently no live photos of this species. 
EtymologyNamed after Madame Rolande Roux-Estève (1921-2009), French herpetologist. For a short biography see Adler 2012: 335.
