Specimens from southern Togo, including Missahoe Forest, are D. micans s. str. (Drury, 1773). From De Palma and Frantz, 2011: "Specimens from south Togo and south Benin originally attributed to kouensis (Legrand et. al., 2006), pertain instead to the nominate subspecies."

Correct. This is Dicronorhina micans s. str.
D. micans kouensis is limited to Burkina Faso.
