Specimen.

Guinea-Bissau: Bissao : BMNH 1867.7.23.16 .

Comments.

Bocage (1895 a) considered three varieties of Naja nigricollis and coined var. occidentalis for some of his specimens from Angola and Guinea-Bissau. Bocage (1895 a) mentioned only a juvenile collected by Barahona (presumably Henrique César da Silva Barahona e Costa, dates of birth and death unknown) in Bissau, even though he had presented an adult to the British Museum years earlier under the name Naja nigricollis ( NHMA /DF/ZOO/200/1/195 ), that Boulenger (1896) assigned to the “ forma typica ”.
