Fars Province (Glöer and Pešić 2009).

New records.

Hormozgan Province: IR17-11 [1 ex.].

Material examined.

NHMW“Pseudamnicola uzelliana Issel”, Persien, stark salziger Tümpel, südl.von Yest (=Yesd), leg.Starmühlner. NHMW 60.459 “Bulimus badiella“, Lake Taschk, 07.07.1956 leg. Löffler.

Associated species.

Melanoides tuberculatus, Melanopsis sp., Melanopsis doriae, Thiara scabra.

Remarks.

Starmühlner and Edlauer (1957) mentioned Gangetia uzielliana from many sampling sites in Yazd Province. An analysis of one lot from the Edlauer collection (NHMW) with the specimens from Yazd Province shows that these specimens (Fig. 13a–b) belong to Farsithyra farsensis. Further, re-examination of the specimens from Lake Taschk in Fars Province identified by Starmühlner and Edlauer (1957) as Bulimus badiella (syn. to Bithynia badiella) shows that it is also conspecific with Farsithyra farsensis.

Distribution.

Iran: Fars, Yazd and Hormozgan Provinces.
