Hi,
I found this one in Abomey near Cotonou. I don't know in which family I can put it!
I need your help.
Best regards

Hi,
I saw that Rainiera a is very close too.
Could it be this genus?
Best regards

Yes, looks like Rainiera. However, according Vol. 3 of Afrotropical manual there is Hybobata and there isn't Rainiera in Africa.
