Remarks |
The accompanying fauna of the ephemeral pools consisted of non-annual species, such as Barbus haasianus, Lacustricola moeruensis, Protopterus sp. and Pseudocrenilabrus cf. philander (Ref. 95524). The type locality was a large ephemeral pool formed in a river bed, as a standing fragment of the seasonal river, about 50 m long and 10 m wide, and about 2 m deep at its deepest point; the edge of the habitat was heavily overgrown by grass and the aquatic vegetation consisted of Nymphea species; the water was brown and slightly turbid, whereas at shallower parts the bottom of the pool was visible (Ref. 95524). |
