Kerman province (as Bythinia uzielliana: Issel 1866,Martens 1874), as Hydrobia uzielliana:Biggs (1936, 1937), (as Pseudamnicola uzelliana:Starmühlner and Edlauer (1957), (as Pseudamnicola uzelliana: Starmühlner (1961, 1965); Fars province (as Pseudamnicola uzelliana: Starmühlner and Edlauer (1957), (as Pseudamnicola uzelliana: Starmühlner and Edlauer (1961, 1965).

Rejected records.

Yazd Province (as Pseudamnicola uzelliana: Starmühlner and Edlauer 1957).

Remarks.

Schütt (1973) classified this species in the genus Gangetia and introduced the new subgenus Iranothyra Schütt, 1973. Mansoorian (1994) reported Gangetia uzielliana with some doubts. However, his species clearly differs from the topotype of Gangetia uzielliana illustrated by Schütt (1973). Most probably, the species recorded by Mansoorian (1994) under this name represents an undescribed new species (Glöer and Pešić 2009).

Distribution.
