Yildirim, Mehmet Zeki, Koca, Seval Bahadir, Gürlek, Mustafa Emre & Glöer, Peter, 2018, A new genus and a species from Turkey, Isparta felei n. gen. n. sp. (Gastropoda: Truncatelloidea: Hydrobiidae), Ecologica Montenegrina 18, pp. 115-119 : 117-118

Isparta felei n.sp.

Description: The yellowish horn-colored shell is conic and consist of 3-3½ whorls, which are regularly convex with a deep suture. The apex is slightly acute, umbilicus closed, the aperture roundish oval shaped. Head and tentacules are pigmented. Shell height: 0.87 – 1.56 mm, width: 0.97 – 1.44 mm ( Table 1 ). Penis slightly pigmented, conic, with a marked lateral protrusion. There is no bursa coputlarix, the oviduct is relatively thick and there is a receptaculum seminis (rs1) present ( Figure 3 ).

Remarks: Male genital system of the new taxon resembles Pseudohoratia ; however there is no bursa coputlarix in Isparta n.gen. as it is in Pseudohoratia . In addition shells of Pseudohoratia have a wide umbilicus, while Isparta n.gen. has not.

Holotype: SH 1.2 mm, SW 1.11 mm, AH 0.65 mm AW 0.6 mm, in coll. HUZOM M1111 .

Paratypes: 5 specimens HUZOM M1112 , 5 specimens from type locality in coll. Gürlek.

Additional material examined: 16 specimens from the type locality were dissected.

Type locality: Isparta province, small spring in the Fele village , 38°00′13.58″N, 31°28′21.24″E, 1251 m a.s.l. , 8.8.201 7.

Other localities: Isparta Province, spring in Büyükgökçeli village .

Etymology: Named after the province where the genus and the species has been found (type locality). Isparta is a city, Fele is a village in SW of Turkey.

Habitat: Spring in the Fele village is small with a stony bottom and outflow ( Figure 2 ). Spring in the Büyükgökçeli village is in the recreational park (picnic area) and samples were collected in the outflow with the stony bottom. Both stations are under the anthropogenic impact.

Associated species: Isparta felei n.sp. was found accompained with Theodoxus anatolicus at the both studied localities.
