Type species.

Iglicopsis butoti by original designation

Diagnosis.

Shell ovate-conic with broad and flat apex, transparent, operculum smooth, no pigment, eyes absent, ctenidium present, penis long, tapering, with bi-lobed outgrowth on the left side and flat outgrowth at the right side, unpigmented renal oviduct, bursa copulatrix and two small receptacula seminis.

Iglicopsis shell resembles that of Montenegrospeum , but is more oval, with broader spire and broader flat apex, sometimes showing scalarity at the body whorl; the penis with the left-side outgrowth located more proximally and bi-lobed and additional flat outgrowth on the right side; the molecular divergence (p = 0.186 for mitochondrial COI and p = 0.114 for nuclear H3) at the genus-level.
