Other common names: Bamenda Wattle-eye

Taxonomy: Platysteira laticincta Bates, 1926, Oku, west of Kumbo, Cameroon.
Traditionally, all members of genus treated as a superspecies, but untenable on grounds of geographical overlap and morphological characters. Present species better treated as forming a superspecies with P. peltata; often considered conspecific, but geographically and ecologically isolated in montane habitat and exhibits not altogether negligible plumage differences. Monotypic.

Distribution: Bamenda Highlands, in W Cameroon.
