Cyclas hartmanni: Jickeli 1874: 292 , pl. 11, fig. 15. (Type locality: “aus Nubien”)

Taxonomic remarks: Mandahl-Barth (1988) synonymized a number of former species under this name and ranked them as subspecies. Based on nephridia characteristics, Korniushin (1998) suggested that all African Sphaerium spp. should be transferred to the genus Musculium View in CoL . In the absence of a molecular phylogenetic analysis of African material and the general confusion of Musculium View in CoL versus Sphaerium View in CoL (see Lee & Ó Foighil 2003), we here retain the generic affiliation most commonly used.

Habitat description: We collected this species from the Pemba R. at the road from Mambasa to Nia-Nia from a depth of 0.1–0.3 m. The substrate comprised sand and gravel.

Collecting site: 23.

IUCN Red List Category: Least Concern ( Ghamizi et al. 2009 b).
