Taxonomic remarks: Bellamya capillata is reported to be widely distributed in the Zambezi system [20] but previous studies showed that the species is endemic to Lake Malawi [47, 56]. We thus named morphologically similar specimens from elsewhere B. cf. capillata as a taxonomic revision is beyond the scope of this paper. Abbreviations: DS—drainage system; Sp. ID—specimen identity number; n/a—data not available; *specimen from Schultheiß et al. [47]; ^#specimen from Sengupta et al. [56]; ZMB—Mollusca collection of the Berlin Museum of Natural History.
