Clessin (1882)
described this species from “Krain (leg. Hofmann et Robic)”; only empty shells were available. Despite our efforts it has been impossible to find any information on the
type
specimens. The species is endemic to
Slovenia
and inhabits caves and springs in the river Krka basin (

) to the junction of the Krka with the Sava River, that covers much of the catchment of the river Krka (
De Mattia 2007
. Our specimens were obtained from interstitial waters pumped from sediments of the river Sava, Čatež ob Savi,
Slovenia
. Our specimens have been collected within the geographic range given by
Schütt (1975)
and
De Mattia (2007)
, and the shells of our specimens present character states described by
Clessin (1882)
and resemble the ones of
I. gracilis
presented by
Clessin (1882)
,
Schütt (1975)
and
De Mattia (2007)
