Distribution.
Originally this taxon was known only from the eastern coastline of the Ohrid Lake, between Ohrid and
Gradiste
(see:
Brandt 1962
;
Loosjes 1966
). Recently it was also found in Central Albania, east of
Bulqize
(Fig. 25). On the Mt. Temlishi it lives syntopically with
Montenegrina nana barinai
ssp. n.
Remarks.
First
ochridensis
was regarded by
Nordsieck (1972)
a subspecies of
Montenegrina perstriata
but later, pointing out the differences in shell morphology, he classified it as a distinct species (
Nordsieck 1988
). More recently he again mentioned this taxon as
Montenegrina perstriata ochridensis
(
Nordsieck 2009
).
In the original description the subgenus name
Delima
is likely a typographic error (
Wagner 1925
: 70), because earlier and in the plate caption of the same paper he used
Albanodelima
(
Wagner 1924
,
1925
).
