Descriptions of new and little-known land snail taxa from Turkey, and establishment of a new genus (Gastropoda, Pulmonata: Lauriidae, Enidae and Vitrinidae) Author Ruud, A. Bank Author Henk P. M.

Type species (by subsequent designation of Westerlund, 1903 : 104): Pupa sturmii Küster, 1852 . This genus is endemic for Turkey. It is composed of A. sturmii (Küster, 1852) (erroneously spelled as sturmi by Zilch [1959: 180 fig. 619] and Schileyko [1998b: 211 fig. 260A-C] ), A. substurmii ( Retowski, 1886 ) and the below described A. moolenbeeki . The anatomy of A. sturmii has been described by Schileyko (1998b: 209-201, fig. 260B- C) . Welter-Schultes (2012: 177) placed A. sturmii as a species in the genus Chondrula , whereas he (2012: 194) placed A. substurmii (Retowski, 1887) in the genus Multidentula . This is remarkable, as Amphiscopus belongs to the tribus Enini, whereas Chondrula and Mutidentula belong to the tribes Chondrulini and Multidentulini, respectively. Furthermore, Welter-Schultes mentioned that Imparietula microdon Schütt, 1995 , is a synonym of substurmii , but microdon is in reality a close relative of Pseudochondrula seductilis (Rossmässler, 1837) (tribus Enini). Retowski (1886: 34) described substurmii from deposition of the Black Sea washed ashore the Crimea ("auf das Strandgebiet zwischen Theodosia und Sudak"); it actually lives in Turkey.
