Notes.—This species differs conchologically from congeneric ones by the dark brown colour in combination with a toothless aperture, and an irregularly sculptured surface. Taking the diversity in
Chondrina
species
into account, we refrain from presenting facts about the actual range of this species on the basis of conchological characters only.
Derivatio nominis.—The epithet
ingae
refers to Ms. Inge Erkelens, who contributed substantially to our knowledge of the Iberian chondrinids by an unpublished report on these snails, written on the basis of material that she collected and analysed together with Ms. M. van Schoor.
