Distribution
The species is known only from the spring of Bosna River (Vrelo Bosne) (
581 m
a.s.l.) near Ilidža, south of Sarajevo. This spring is draining the karst waters of the Igman Massif (
1502 m
a.s.l) and North Bjelašnica Massif (
2067 m
a.s.l.).
Remarks
The
type
species of the genus,
Plagigeyeria plagiostoma
, with
P. inflata
,
were both originally described from the Bosna River Springs in Ilidža under the genus “
Geyeria
”, named after the famous German malacologist David Geyer (
6 November 1855
–
6 November 1932
). However the genus name was invalid due to homonymy, as it had been previously used by Buchecker in 1876 to name a moth in the family
Castniidae Boisduval, 1828
, by Buckman in 1899 for a cephalopod, by Carapezzae & Schopen in 1899 for a brachiopod, and by Fucini, 1901 for a cephalopod. Based on the homonymy, Tomlin in 1930 renamed the genus “
Geyeria
” as
Plagigeyeria
with
Plagigeyeria plagiostoma
as
type
species and the Vrelo Bosna (
581 m
a.s.l.) as
type
locality for the genus. The species inhabits karst conduits under the Igman Massif (
1502 m
a.s.l.) and northern Bjelašnica Mountains (
2067 m
a.s.l.), likely drained from Prečko Polje (
1002 m
a.s.l.).
