Potadoma liricincta ( Smith, 1888) View in CoL

Fig. 2C

Melania liricincta: Smith 1888: 52 , fig. 1. (Type locality: “Albert Nyanza, probably from the eastern side of the Lake”)

Taxonomic remarks: Mandahl-Barth (1967) synonymized the following four species from the Congo under P. liricincta : Melania tornata Martens, 1897 ; P. pokoensis, Pilsbry & Bequaert, 1927 View in CoL ; P. medjeorum Pilsbry & Bequaert, 1927 View in CoL ; P. urundica Thiele, 1911 . The type locality is probably wrong since Potadoma View in CoL has not been reported since from L. Albert (e.g., Brown 1994; Mandahl-Barth 1967; RS pers. observ.).

Habitat description: We have found this species in flowing waters at collecting depths of 0.2–0.5 m on varying substrates (gravel and sand with proportions of clay and detritus; Figs 4G–I).

Collecting sites: 15, 16, 17, 19, 22, 23.

IUCN Red List Category: Near Threatened (Jørgensen 2008 c).
