Common names: Lumbungo, Lusese, Lutemba

Uses: live export: yes;
Comments: Known from the Cubango/Okavango (Ref. 11970, 120641) and Zambezi (Ref. 120641). Reports from the southern Congo River basin (Ref. 120641) in the Cuilo (=Kwilu), Kasai, Luachimo and Chiumbe (Ref. 11970) are probably another species, because of the large heads and relatively few, broader than average body bars in these specimens (Ref. 26673). Rare in South Africa; threatened chiefly by water abstraction and pollution; weirs and dams obstruct its movement along rivers (Ref. 7248).

Africa: Zambezi, Okavango, Pungwe, Limpopo, and Buzi River systems southwards to the Pongolo River; absent in Kafue and Cunene Rivers (Ref. 7248, 52193). Also in the Luapula River system in Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia; records from southern tributaries of the Congo (Kasai, Luachimo, Chiumbe, Kwilu) may represent an other, unidentified species (Ref. 26673).
