Chytra kirki is a species of tropical freshwater snail with an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Paludomidae.[1]

Chytra kirki is the only species in the genus Chytra.[5]

The specific name kirki is in honor of explorer John Kirk (1832-1922), who has donated various other specimen of snails (not this species) to the Natural History Museum.[6]

Distribution

This species is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia.[1] The type locality is Lake Tanganyika.[4]

Description

The shell is solid, trochiform and dirty whitish in color.[6] The spire is acutely conical.[6] The shell has 6 or 7 feebly concave whorls.[6] They are bearing arcuate and flexuous lines of growth and six or seven granulous lirae, whereof that immediately above the suture is the largest.[6] The body whorl is acutely angular at the periphery, encircled by two subequal granular ridges.[6] The base is concave near the circumference, then slightly convex, concentrically granosely ridged.[6] The ridges nearest the umbilicus are coarser than the others, and also arcuately radiately striated.[6] The shell has deep and narrow umbilicus.[6]

The aperture is irregularly subcircular and whitish.[6] The outer lip (viewed laterally) is obliquely incurved.[6] Basal and columellar margins are forming one strongly arcuate line joined above to the extremity of the labrum by a thickish callosity.[6]

The width of the shell is 19 mm.[5] The height of the shell is 15 mm.[5]

Ecology

Its natural habitat is freshwater lakes.[1] It is widespread[5] species in the Lake Tanganyika, but its distribution is patchy and with low numbers of snails.[1] It lives on the mud with much organic material in depths 10–20 meters.[1][5] There is possibility that it can live in depths up to 80 m.[1][5]
