Taxonomic remarks: This morphologically variable species is the only tetraploid taxon of the genus (save B. permembranaceus View in CoL ; Brown 1994). In the absence of chromosomal information we tentatively designate the sampled specimens to this species. Mandahl-Barth (1957 b) mentions a subspecies trigonus, which occurs in lakes Victoria and Edward.

Habitat description: We dredged this species in L. Edward and in the Semliki R. on sandy substrate at depths of 3–5 and 2–3 m respectively. Note that the former sample consists of empty shells only.

Collecting sites: 8, 12.

IUCN Red List Category: Not Evaluated ( B. truncatus ).
