“…This area encompasses the Angolan Highlands, which are drained by three major river systems, including the Kwanza, Kunene and Okavango rivers. H. ansorgii has been recorded from several river systems in southern Africa that include the Kwanza, Kunene, Okavango, Kwando, Upper Zambezi, Lower Zambezi, Pungwe and Buzi rivers (Bell-Cross & Minshull, 1988;Kadye et al, 2008;Marshall, 2010;Skelton, 2001;Chakona et al, 2018; Figure 1).
