Diagnosis.

Shell medium, tumid. All whorls and the neck with widely-spaced and indistinct wrinkle-ribs. Basal and peripheral crests well recognizable. Lamellae superior and spiralis mostly overlap. Lunella dorsal-dorsolateral. Weak sulcalis usually present.

Dimensions

(in mm). Hs: 14.4-23.1, Ws: 4.5-6.0 (topotypes HNHM 83482).

Type locality.

"Am Saumpfade zwischen Antivari und Mikulić” = Montenegro, along the path between Stari Bar and Mikulić [ costata (Boettger, 1907)].

Type material.

Type locality, ex Boettger, ex Wohlberedt, 1906, lectotype (SMF 176320), paralectotype (SMF 176321) [ costata (Boettger, 1907)].

Other material.

Montenegro, Rumija Mts, 3 km above Stari Bar, on the footpath to Veliki Mikulići, 340 m, 42.0973°N, 19.1458°E, leg. LD, ZF, JK, DM, 14.x.2008 (HNHM 99612); same locality, leg. ZE, ZF, 19.iv.2000 (HNHM 83482); same locality, leg. MD, EH, KJ, HS, 7.vii.2015 (NHMW 110430/MN/0155).

Etymology.

The new replacement name refers to the historical name of Stari Bar (Antivari).

Distribution.

Western side of the Rumija Mts in Montenegro. This taxon was found only at the type locality, parapatrically with Montenegrina cattaroensis umbilicata . (There is a very narrow transitional contact zone between the two taxa). Montenegrina cattaroensis umbilicata is wider distributed in the area, and can be found along a large section of the footpath from Stari Bar to Veliki Mikulići (Fig. 13).

Remarks.

Although the description of Clausila umbilicata costata was formally published in Wohlberedt (1907), the authorship is unequivocally attributed to Boettger. This name is a primary junior homonym (ICZN Art. 53.3) of Clausilia costata Pfeiffer, 1828 (currently Cochlodina costata ), therefore, it must be rejected and replaced by a new substitute name (ICZN Art. 60.3, 72.7).
