NOT A GUINEAN LAP....... Farahna Lap. I have one just like it that I got from Toyin about 2-3 years ago. It's a lap found in the farahna region. There's some confusion over this because these pieces changed names several times........ "sp. farahna"....... "farahna lap" ........ "sp. farahna broken line"..... "sp. farahna dabola TYPE" ....... "sp farahna unbroken line"...... etc....
When brought in they were being sold as farahna lap........ as these started to settle in, some looked kinna like dabola in the sense that the horizontal lines connected like that of sp. dabola....... hence sp. farahna Dabola type...... this caused some confusion......
..... sp. farahna broken line & vice versa was adopted....... MAKE SENSE??
You have a beatiful farahna lap.
When I ordered mine back then, since the distinction hadn't been made yet, I was lucky to receive both!!.... farahna lap & farahna Dabola type!!!! Hope I am making sense here.
Also forgot to mention........ there is a HUGE difference in pattern from lap to lap found in the farahna region....... I've owned up to 6 at one point and they all looked different. 
Finally!!!! Thank you very much! So cool u are like a polypterus complex encyclopedia.
You are welcomed BUT no .... hardly an expert..... wish the real experts would come back to show us a thing or two like cohazard, hao, ricky, cdm, tokyomask, king-el, to name a few...... I learned a lot from some of them...... they took bichir keeping to a whole different level...... these guys were into fin count, headshape, .... you name it..... real geeks you know!!?? Bwahahahahaha!!!!
