Description.

. The material from Rumokoroshe (
Rivers
State,
Nigeria
) is illustrated in
Figs. 3–4
.
Remarks.
The material from
Rivers
State (USNM 171376), studied by
Pereira (1997)
, represents the first record of
E. edingtonae
outside of
Edo
and
Delta
states where the species has been often reported (
Fig. 62B
, yellow circles). The specimens match well the description and illustrations in
Powell (1976)
(see also
Figs. 3
,
4
). The genus
Euryrhynchina
was believed to be monotypic until recently when a second species was described (
De Grave
et al
. 2017
). For the morphological differences between the two species, see remarks under
E. puteola
.
