Comments

Current distribution is confined to lowveld rivers. Known to occur in the Komati system, Mnkondo, and Black Mbuluzi. Its range appears to be shrinking. Ref. 13406 reported this species from Matsapha and Siphofaneni on the Usutu system where it now appears to be absent. Siltation may be one possible factor involved in the decrease ot its range (Pers. comm. Klaasen 1997).
