Records from Iran.

Tehran Province – “Frauenfeldia elburensis” Starmühlner and Edlauer (1957).

Remarks.

Starmühlner and Edlauer (1957) originally described this species as Frauenfeldia elburensis. However, the genus name Frauenfeldia is preoccupied, and thus, the species of this genus have been re-assigned to Belgrandiella, Boleana, Graziana and Sarajana (Radoman 1983). Due to the shape of the aperture in original description (see Starmühlner and Edlauer 1957) we affiliate this species to the genus Belgrandiella.

Distribution.

Iran, only known from the locus typicus (Gelandoah, 60 km NE of Tehran).
