This species is found in Lake Tanganyika in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania and Zambia. [1]
Type locality is southern shore near Mleroes, Lake Tanganyika in depth of 243 m (800 feet). [3]
The shell of Bathanalia howesi is recognizable with spines. [3]
The width of the shell is 17 mm. [3] The height of the shell is 25 mm. [3]
It was found in depths from 45 m. [3] John Edmund Sharrock Moore have thought that this species can live up to depth 300 m, but Leloup (1953) mentioned maximum depth of 150–200 m. [3]
Lake Tanganyika is an African Great Lake. It is the second-oldest freshwater lake in the world, the second-largest by volume, and the second-deepest, in all cases after Lake Baikal in Siberia. It is the world's longest freshwater lake. The lake is shared between four countries—Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Burundi, and Zambia, with Tanzania (46%) and DRC (40%) possessing the majority of the lake. It drains into the Congo River system and ultimately into the Atlantic Ocean.
