Diagnosis: shell depressed, usually no granulation, whorls with a blunt shoulder, distal penial lumen with two equally sized strong pilasters.
Description of shell: shell depressed, with a slightly raised spire, basic colour light to chestnut brown; initial half of the protoconch whorl smooth, then with a very fine and dense radial sculpture; teleoconch surface with strong radial riblets, becoming very weak on the penultimate and ultimate whorl, a granulation usually lacking; yellowish hairs usually eroded (length 0.47–1.4 mm, shorter in the umbilicus), but if present covering the whole shell except a small, hair-free zone around the shells periphery, where only randomly some small hair knuckles can be found; shell with 5¼–6¾ regularly increasing and well rounded whorls, with a blunt shoulder, last whorl descending shortly before the aperture; suture of medium depth; umbilicus almost cylindrical at its beginning, suddenly increasing in size in the last whorl, diameter 1.55–2.8 mm; aperture oblique, slightly curved in lateral view; in frontal view obliquely oval, peristomial insertions with a gap of 2.65–5.9 mm; parietal callus very thin, often missing; peristome sharp, strongly broadened laterally, slightly reflected basally; oblique columellar reflection, but only covering ca 1/10 of its diameter. Measurements: H: 4.7–7.5; D: 9.2–16.4; aH: 4.2–7.5(2.65–5); aW: 4.5–8. Details of body (according to 10 specimens( 3 kmfrom the crossing Vólakas/6; 3.2 kmN of Makriplágio/4; Hudec & Vašátko, 1973: 13, Abb. 10): head and neck greyish to brown-greyish, flanks and tail cream; sole cream with darker rims; mantle rim with a 1 mmbroad stripe without pigmentation, rest of mantle for 1½ whorl with a pattern of large grey to brown spots, subsuturally with a broad brown stripe; secondary ureter opens 1 mmbefore pneumostome, split into two 1 to 1.5 mmlong canals. Morphology of the genital organs ( Fig. 26): penis relatively long, slightly to well thickened, penial glandular tissue covers ca 1/3 of the total penis length, distal penial lumen with two equally sized strong pilasters, one of them with proximal warts and a rounded, thickened distal end, the other pilaster is in parallel, but recurving and leading back to unite with the warty end of the first pilaster; vagina short to relatively long, lumen filled with a long and thick pilaster which splits distally into two branches (sometimes with additional parallel folds); glandula with a long stalk and a strongly folded part, bursa copulatrix as long as or sometimes longer than the glandula, pedunculus constituting ca half of the total length of the bursa copulatrix, vesicle of bursa copulatrix not observably differentiated; atrial lumen with a large serrated area, and with a central pilaster that connects to the vaginal pilaster.
Differential diagnosis: In its general habit, L. pirinensisis quite close to L. corcyrensis, but it differs from this species by its well rounded whorls and the deeper suture. In L. corcyrensis, the teleoconch surface sculpture is coarser, with stronger irregular radial stripes. The hairs are usually permanent in L. pirinensis, but on average shorter. The descending part of the last whorl is bright to almost whitish, and the apertural rim usually more strongly reinforced with a small columellar shield. The penial pilasters are v-shaped wrinkles but longitudinal pilasters in L. pirinensis. On average, shells of L. girvaare smaller than those of L. pirinensis, with the first species having a coarser teleoconch surface sculpture, with stronger irregular radial stripes. The hairs in L. pirinensisare usually permanent but shorter than those of L. girva. In L. pirinensis, the descending part of the last whorl is bright to almost whitish, and the apertural rim usually more strongly reinforced. In L. girva, the penial pilasters never recurve like in L. pirinensis.

Remarks: Specimens from more humid forested areas tend to have larger shells with a higher spire than those from more arid habitats, where the shells tend to be flatter and have a larger umbilicus. Next to populations with a wide range in shell size, there are also populations which contain excusively large specimens. However, these are considered conspecific, because they comply with all other character states of the other populations.
Distribution ( Fig. 39): Lindholmiola pirinensisis well known from the mountains in western and southern Bulgariaand in the northern part of Greecenorth to the area between Kavála–Dráma and in Thracia. The westernmost record is from Fyrom in the Vardar valley close to Katlanovo
