Archispirostreptus gigas
More than 20 cm long (second photo for size), dark brown or black with reddish legs.
Found in rainforest close to town Kindia, in dark and humid undergrowth near the pathway.
Many thanks to Karen Puracan for pointing the ID of this species - following her suggestion I did find some materials, and the species was recorded in East Africa and South Arabia... not in West Africa yet. I did see this species more than once in Guinea, in all parts where there is a tropical forest.
Many thanks Karen. I'm still a bit confused about it, since there are no records of its range in West Africa...
