Africa: drainage basins of Lakes Kivu, Edward and Tanganyika, both in tributaries and in lakes (Ref. 2801), also Lake Rukwa (Ref. 107916). In Democratic Republic of the Congo also collected at Pinga (Lualaba, upper Congo River basin) (Ref. 12818). Reports from the Ituri drainage (middle Congo River basin) (Ref. 82705) based on misidentified E. trinotatus (Ref. 106290).
