Gary pointed her to collecting info at:

which is the type specimen collection information from it's discovery,
namely [= Gabon: 45 km northeast of Lambaréné (starting point: the bridge
over the Ogooué river in the city) , on the road to Bifoun, near Benguié,
lower Ogooué basin, 0° 47'S/ 10°32' E., at this point the Ogooué river
flows less than 10 km away to the east; the Mbiné river, one of its
tributaries is about the same distance away to the west; 27 VII. 1996; leg
R. Krumenacker & H.Romer].
This original 1996 collection of A. hera by the two Swiss (Romer and
Krumenacher) went into the hobby as Aphyosemion hera "Lamberene, ARK
1-2/96". I don't know what the A stands for, but the "1-2" means first
location on the second day (or second location on the first day...),
something like that. (Thanks to Anita for that info.)
