Four species of [[freshwater crab]]s are known from Lake Victoria: ''[[Potamonautes niloticus]]'' is widespread in the lake and ''[[Potamonautes emini|P. emini]]'' has been recorded from the vicinity of [[Bukoba]] in Tanzania, but both are also found elsewhere in Africa.<ref>Cumberlidge, N.

The latter likely is the smallest African freshwater crab with a carapace width up to about {{cvt|1.6|cm|in|1}}, although ''[[Potamonautes kantsyore|P. kantsyore]]'' of [[Kagera River]], and ''[[Platythelphusa]] maculata'' and ''P. polita'' of Lake Tanganyika are almost as small.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Cumberlidge | first1 = N. | last2 = Clark | first2 = P.F. | year = 2017 | title = Description of three new species of Potamonautes MacLeay, 1838 from the Lake Victoria region in southern Uganda, East Africa (Brachyura: Potamoidea: Potamonautidae) | journal = European Journal of Taxonomy | issue = 371| pages = 1–19 | doi = 10.5852/ejt.2017.371 | doi-access = free | hdl = 10141/622400 | hdl-access = free }}</ref>
