Turanena cochlicopoides E. Gittenberger & Menkhorst, 1993, Archiv für Molluskenkunde, 122 (Zilch Festschr.): 74, map 1, pl. 1 fig. 1 [Vilayet Gaziantep: leere Gehäuse zwischen den Felsen der Straße Gaziantep-Bahçe entlang, 60 km ö. Bahçe, in 1000 m Meereshöhe; CB 31]

Specimens examined.

Vil. Erzincan, Kemaliye, between Arslanoba and Dolunay villages (the rocks around the Cahit Bilgin Park), 39.249°N, 38.599°E, 1560 m alt., 07.05.2007, leg. B. A. Gümüş, NMBE 32712/2; ditto, 07.09.2007, NMBE 32713/2.

Remarks.

This is the second record for this species since its description. Interestingly, the new location is quite far away from the type locality (ca. 250 km in direct line), so it can be assumed that this species lives in a much larger area than expected before, but seems to be quite rare.
