Etymology
Named after the Austrian malacologists Alexander and Peter L. Reischütz with Nicole Steiner-Reischütz, who were the first to collect the species in the
type
locality.
Description
Shell is narrow-conical,
2.7 mm
high with rounded apex and yellowish corneous periostracum, with five convex pagoduline whorls with rather weak suture. Shell surface finely axially ribbed at late whorls of the teleoconch. Faintly cancellate nepionic whorls covered by 25 close-set spiral ribs. Density of spiral ribs apically decreasing at protoconch to 15 and fading out at malleate nucleus. Space among the protoconch ribs is covered by characteristically granulated surface. Umbilicus narrow slit-like and obscured by the strongly reflexed columellar marginal fold. Larger expanding reflexed trumpet-like aperture irregularly oval and attached to body whorl by a parietal callus. Peristome sharp, and strongly outward reflexed along the aperture outline. Outer lip lateral profile and columellar lip profile characteristically sinuous. Expanded aperture conspicuously protruded against shell outline at basal view.
Differentiating features
The shells of
P. reischuetzorum
sp. nov.
differ from the specimens of
P. mostarensis
known from the spring of the Bunica River near Hodbina (
Fig. 5
A–C) by their more inflated whorls and less sinuated labral and columellar margins, as well by a more prominent and a less declined aperture at the shell lateral outline. Shell morphometry comparison with the related species is presented in the
Table 1
.
Habitat
The type specimens were found in sediments washed out from the cave spring “Sušica Pećina” and its side permanent spring Vrelo “Vrijeka” (
483 m
a.s.l.) situated
100 m
eastward from the cave and rising from debris under the road to Fatnica. It is a part of northern Bregava Basin, likely draining the karst waters from Lukavačko Polje (
895 m
a.s.l.) into Dabarsko Polje (
472 m
a.s.l.). During the sampling in
March 2018
the adjacent parts of Dabarsko Polje were flooded by large spring outlets creating a vast lake.
Distribution
The new species is so-far known only from the
type
locality.
