[Myrina subornata Lathy]
Myrina subornata Lathy, 1903: 198; pi. 8, fig. 8. Aurivillius, 1922 [1908-1925]: 378; pi. 66f. Hawker-Smith, 1929: 230; Talbot in Seth-Smith, 1938: 148.
This species was described from Nigeria (Anambara Creek vicinity). Aurivillius (1922) records it from "Adamawa", while Talbot (in Seth-Smith, 1938) cites it from Ghana and Hawker-Smith (1929) from Haute Volta. It may possibly extend as far west as Liberia, though no specimens have been taken there as yet.
