Genus
Islamia
Radoman, 1973
Type
species:
Hydrobia valvataeformis
Möllendorf, 1873
.
The shell is valvatiform with a roundish-ovoid aperture and a sharp outer lip. Species of the genus occur in the Balkan Peninsula,
Turkey
(Radoman1983),
Italy
(Cossigniani 1995),
France
(Falkner et al. 2002) and
Spain
(Bank & Neubert 2018). The species of
Islamia
are usually endmic to their
type
locality. Thus we daresay that the
Islamia
from
Morocco
is a new species.
