Fig. 2K

Planorbis stanleyi: Smith 1888: 55 View in CoL . (Type locality: “Albert Nyanza, probably from the eastern side of the

Lake”)

Taxonomic remarks: This species was (in addition to its type locality) reported from L. Chad ( Brown 1974) and L. Cohoha ( Gryseels et al. 1987) but not from L. Edward or the upper Semliki. Since our specimens are immature, we identify them tentatively.

Habitat description: We dredged this species from the Semliki R. at depths of 2–3m together with (amongst others) B. smithi . The sampled specimens are apparently immature yet differ considerably from also sampled immature specimens of B. smithi .

Collecting site: 11.

IUCN Red List Category: Data Deficient ( B. stanleyi ) ( Lange 2004).
