Africa: Cunene, Okavango, Zambezi and Limpopo systems, common in Zimbabwe and Zambia; also widespread in Central and East Africa (Ref. 52193), south- and eastwards from the upper Congo River basin (Ref. 45616). In the upper Congo basin present in the drainages of the Lualaba (Ref. 36901), upper Lualaba (Ref. 45616), Mweru-Luapula and Bangweulu-Chambeshi (Ref. 95585). Probably also in the Malagarasi (Ref. 54847).
