Abstract: New species Pseudamnicola sumbasensis sp. nov. is described from Province of Turkey. Material was collected in 2017 and compared with other Pseudamnicola spp. recorded in Turkey.

Key words: Hydrobiidae, , Gastropoda, new species, Turkey

The first study related to the Pseudamnicola in sumbasensis sp. nov. was identified in a freshwater source Turkey started with the identification by Küster regarding of located in the Middle Taurus Pseudamnicola natolica among the Charpentier’s mountains of Turkey. collection in 1853. The type locality of the species was Material was collected using a kick-net of 0.5 mm mesh mentioned as (Schütt and Bilgin, 1970). Later, size from suyu spring in June 2017 (Figures 1 and 2). Radoman (1973) described this species as Pseudorientalia The snails were preserved in plastic tubes containing 80% natolica, and a detailed anatomical review was made by ethanol. Dissections and measurements of the shells and Gürlek (2018). Over 70 species which belong to the genus genital organs were carried out using a stereo microscope Pseudamnicola live in regions of the Mediterranean basin (Olympus SZX7, Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) including the Western Mediterranean, North Africa, the and photographs were taken using a digital camera Eastern Mediterranean, and the Middle East (Glöer et al., system (Olympus DP26). The material compared with 2010; Delicado et al., 2012; Boeters et al., 2015; Glöer et al., topotypes of the Pseudamnicola marashi, Pseudamnicola 2015). In Turkey, 13 species (Pseudamnicola macrostoma merali, Pseudamnicola goksunensis, and Pseudamnicola Küster 1852, Pseudamnicola kotschyi Frauenfeld 1856, lindbergi available in the author’s own collection, paratype Pseudamnicola elbursensis Starmühlner and Edlauer 1957, photos and the description of Pseudamnicola vinarskii, Pseudamnicola lindbergi Boettger 1957, Pseudamnicola Pseudamnicola gullei, and Pseudamnicola kayseriensis geldiayana Schütt and Bilgin 1970, Pseudamnicola bilgini (Schütt and Şeşen, 1993; Glöer and Georgiev, 2012; Schütt and Şeşen 1993, Pseudamnicola intranodosa Schütt Glöer et al., 2014; Glöer et al., 2015).

Especially P. geldiayana differs features. P. sumbasensis sp. nov. has typically triangular from the new species by the prominent cone-shaped shell. penis shape. P. lindbergi’s penis is also triangular but Except the inclusion of Pseudamnicola natolica in the warped to the distal part.

Gürlek (2017) in the meantime stated that P. vinarskii, and P. goksunensis have angular aperture Pseudamnicola elbursensis Starmühlner and Edlauer 1957) while P. marashi has oval aperture. P. goksunensis has and Pseudamnicola kotschyi Frauenfeld 1856 which were open to slit-like umbilicus while P. sumbasensis sp. nov.’s given by Paydak (1976) in Southeastern Anatolia Region umbilicus closed. P. sumbasensis sp. nov. is seperated of Turkey are actually Iranian species and they may be from P. vinarskii by its more angular aperture. Besides, P. misidentified species. It would be useful to revise the other vinarskii has 4.5 regularly growing whorls and more clearly Turkish Pseudamnicola species identified by only a few sutures. P. merali, P. kayseriensis, and P. gullei have longer taxonomic characters by repeating the dissection.
