Fig. 38 Streptostele (Raffraya) herma: Connolly 1912: 89 , pl. 2, fig. 3 (Victoria Falls; 4.5× 1.3 mm).

A rather uncommon East African species, with a general distribution from south-eastern Kenya to north-eastern parts of South Africa. All shells found at all three stations on Cabo Delgado are slightly smaller than the type of this species. Differs from all other snails in the area by the small, elongated shell with a weak parietal tooth and slight palatal thickening .
