Mytilopsis africana is a species of bivalve mollusc in the false mussel family, Dreissenidae. It is widespread along the brackish water environments of coastal West and Central Africa.[1] It may represent a lineage of Mytilopsis sallei, a Caribbean species, that invaded the western coast of Africa during the period of slave trade.[3][4]
