Type locality.
Markazi Province, Ashtian to Arak road (ca. 5 km after Ashtian city, Ashtian county), 50°01'E, 34°34'N, ca. 1800 m asl., 21 June 2005.
Holotype
(ZMH 79370): Shell height 2.6 mm, width 1.9 mm.
Paratypes
(ZMH 79371): 6 ex. from type locality.
Etymology.
Named after Dr Dilian Georgiev in appreciation of his studies on Bulgarian hydrobiids.
Description.
The whitish shell is conical with 4.5 whorls, which are separated by a clear suture. The surface is glossy and finely striated. The apex is blunt, the umbilicus is closed, the aperture is ovate and pointed at the top. Shell height 2.4-2.6 mm, width 1.9 mm.
Differentiating features.
The conical shell with its pointed aperture ( Fig. 9 View Figure 9 ) clearly distinguished the new species from other Iranian members of the genus Pseudamnicola .
Remark.
We had only shells with dried tissue at our disposal. Since the penis morphology could not be examined, the assignment to the genus Pseudamnicola is provisional.
Distribution.
Iran; only known from the type locality.
