Reported from the lower Congo rapids (Ref. 42510), Ubangi (Ref. 2988, 45441), Uele (Ref. 41594), Itimbiri (Ref. 42503), Ituri (Ref. 42480, 106290), Lindi (Ref. 2988, 42183, 106290), Stanleyville (=Kisangani) (Ref. 41594, 46861), Wagenia Falls (Ref. 106245), Lualaba (Ref. 106245), Luapula (Ref. 41590) and Lufira (upper Lualaba) (Ref. 2266, 2970). Also Ref. 3202. Note that coordinates of 'Kabunda' in Ref. 41590 are incorrect and should probably be about 01°15'S-29°30'E (in Luapula drainage; see also Ref. 2970) (T. Musschoot, pers. comm.). |
