Warri

Codes

None known.

History

First seen in AKA auctions in 1990 & probably first imported to the UK in 1992. Their is some confusion as the naming of Warri was later asked to be changed to Waurri (from the AKA) which was collected in Cameroon.
Hopefully more details will emerge at a later date.

Habitat

Warri is a swamp area. I have talked to a Nigerian working on a thesis on other species but knows the Warri area. He informed me that the Warri area is destroyed by petro-chemical industrial activity.
It is highly probable this population is extinct in nature.
