Iglica hellenica
Falniowski et Sarbu, 2015
: fig. 1.
Material examined:
Holotype MZUJ2107; paratype MZUJ2209.
Described
from a small pond in
Melissotripa Cave
,
Thessalia
,
Greece
. This species is known only from its
type
locality.
The
only
paratype
was destroyed for
DNA
extraction; its sequences were applied in this study.
Diagnosis:
Shell relatively large (larger than other
Iglica
), turriform.
Remarks:
This species is readily distinguished from geographically close and related species
I. sidariensis
,
I. maasseni
,
I. wolfischeri
and
I. alpheus
by its larger size and more convex whorls.
Iglica hellenica
is readily distinguished from the geographically closest species
Paladilhiopsis thessalica
by its larger size and narrow aperture.
