Mehelya crossi (Boulenger, 1895)
Material: 11 specimens.
Locality: Téla (11).
Literature records: Gayia ( Chirio 2009).
Remarks: The Téla records were plotted on the grid map in Trape and Mané (2006b). Recently, Kelly et al. (2011) dumped several file snakes into the genus Gonionotophis . However, on the basis of dentition and osteology there appear to be several genera involved (D.G. Broadley, in litt.) and thus we prefer to provisionally keep all the West African file snakes in the genus Mehelya .
