for this species' survival.

a length of 10.8 centimetres (4.3 in).[2] It was
first identified from specimens collected from
Lake Lanao in 1910 and 1922, and specimens
were still present as recently as a 1982 survey of
the lake. More recent surveys have failed to find
species, and it is now considered extinct.
