Río Muni is and was the continental part of Equatorial Guinea (that includes also,
apart from Fernando Pó (now called Bioko), the island of Ano Bom, situated south of
Sao Tome e Principe), that was called Spanish Guinea before independence.
Fernando Poo was separate entity, first colony and later province.
Some time were ruled by a single governor under "spanish territories of the

Rio Muni was also separate entity first colony (at same level that Fernando
Poo, Corisco, Annobon and Elobey, three last ones merged by Rio Muni) and
later province.
No flag existed for any spanish colony, neither for the provinces (some

and the spanish governor general standard.
