Chondrina ingae View in CoL spec. nov. (pl. 12 fig. F)
Material.— Spain, Alicante, S of Biar, along road into the Sierra de Biar ; 960 m alt.; UTM XH9475 .
Type series: RMNH 109865 About RMNH / holotype, 103221/ 19 paratypes .
Description.—Shell dark brown, moderately slender conical to rather thickset; sculptured with irregular wrinckles or riblets. Aperture somewhat higher than broad, without teeth. Apertural lip inconspicuously thickened. Shell height 5.7–6.1 mm; width 2.6–2.8 mm.
Notes.—This species differs conchologically from congeneric ones by the dark brown colour in combination with a toothless aperture, and an irregularly sculptured surface. Taking the diversity in Chondrina species into account, we refrain from presenting facts about the actual range of this species on the basis of conchological characters only.
Derivatio nominis.—The epithet ingae refers to Ms. Inge Erkelens, who contributed substantially to our knowledge of the Iberian chondrinids by an unpublished report on these snails, written on the basis of material that she collected and analysed together with Ms. M. van Schoor.
