Abstract
Three populations of S. sparsipunctata from the eastern coast of Lake Tanganyika were studied by light and electron microscopy. We found no distinct differences between the type variety and var. laevis; therefo re we propose to include the var. laevis with the typical variety. An amended description of S. sparsipunctata based on LM and SEM observati ons is given.
