Rupestrella somalensis
(
Verdcourt, 1963
)
Type
locality:
Somalia
, northern region,
Mait-Erigavo Escarpment
,
5,900 feet
alt
.
Notes.—This species was originally classified with
Granopupa
. Based on the original description and figure, however, it clearly belongs to
Rupestrella
. As already mentioned by
Verdcourt (1963)
it appears to be affiliated with
R. michaudi
, based on the slender shell shape. Its geographical location is rather isolated. It extends the known distribution of the genus considerably southward.
