| Abstract |
A new species of Valvata (Tropidina) is described from Armenia. It is similar to Valvata nowshahrensis Glöer & Pešić 2012 from Iran and V. kebapcii Odabaşi, Glöer & Yıldırım 2015 from Turkey, but has a smaller shell with a narrower umbilicus. We provide data on the sampling site, photos of the new species in comparison with related species. Additionally, the taxonomy of Valvata brandti Westerlund, 1897 from Armenia is shortly discussed. |
