Abida secale meridionalis Martínez-Ortí, Faci & Gómez, 2004 (pl. 8 figs A–E)

Abida secale meridionalis Martínez-Ortí, Faci & Gómez, 2004: 63 .

Type locality: Spain, Teruel , Cantavieja, 4 km W of Cantavieja along 800P road at rkm 93,5, UTM YK1588 ; 1,460 m alt.

Distribution.—See fig. 3 .

Description (after Martínez-Ortí et al. 2004).—Shell slender, elongated cylindrical, with 9 1/2–12 3/4 moderately inflated whorls, sculptured with regularly placed axial ribs, that are often worn. Body whorl slightly obliquely flattened, somewhat narrowed, with an indistinct keel. Palatalis superior accompanied by a clear external indentation of the apertural lip, usually causing the palatal side of the aperture to appear somewhat concave. Shell height, 5.4–12.5 mm, width, 2.8–3.1 mm. The greatest width of the shell is reached in its upper half. Umbilicus narrowly open.

Apertural lip strongly reflected, moderately to strongly thickened. Parietal edges usually connected by a more or less prominent callus. Angularis and spiralis connected with a slight indentation or a weak callus. Subangularis present, partly attached to angularis. Strong parietalis and weak infraparietalis regularly present. Columellaris reaches, with an upward curve, up to the apertural lip. Infracolumellaris weakly developed, never extending far beyond the columella. A third, indistinct columellar fold may be present. The infrapalatalis, palatalis inferior and palatalis superior reach up to the edge of the aperture. The palatalis superior regularly forms a swelling on the apertural lip. If so, then this is accompanied by indistict folds. At the anterodorsal palatal center a suprapalatalis may be present.
