Biomphalaria smithi Preston, 1910 View in CoL View at ENA
Fig. 2M
Biomphalaria smithi: Preston 1910: 535 View in CoL , figs 26, 26A. (Type locality: “Lake Albert Edward”) Taxonomic remarks:A unique, distinct character of this species is the sharp slope of the last whorl. Mandahl-Barth (1957 a) notes however that this feature may not be developed in immature specimens. The species is endemic to L. Edward and its immediate surroundings (Mandahl-Barth 1957 a; Brown 1994; Jørgensen et al. 2007 b).
Habitat description: The species was dredged from L. Edward (formerly named Lake Albert Edward; see type locality) as well as from the Semliki R. at depths of 2–5 m on sandy substrates.
Collecting sites: 10, 11, 12.
IUCN Red List Category: Near Threatened ( Kyambadde 2004).
