Africa: small rivers, brooks and shallow parts of larger bodies of water, estuaries and lagoons in the warm coastal plains of Natal, South Africa, from the Pongola River and Kosi system southward to the Umlalazi River near Richards Bay (Ref. 47311, 52193). Also in Transvaal, South Africa (Ref. 27139). Reports from the Okavango swamps in Botswana and the Cuanza and Cuilo in Angola probably refer to other species (Ref. 47311).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00163 - 0.01168), b=3.13 (2.89 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 2.6 ±0.26 se; based on food items.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
