Assiminea zubairensis n. sp. - A new species from Iraq (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Assimineidae)

摘要

During ongoing malacological investigations of the fauna of the Iraq we found an Assiminea species new to science, which we describe here as Assiminea zubairensis n. sp. To find out if this is in fact a new species we studied the work of Abbott (1958) and Brandt (1974). Both of these authors mentioned the anatomy and depicted the species in photographs which allowed us to compare our Assiminea species with species already known. In addition we compared the species with A. mesopotamica Gl?er, Naser & Yasser 2007.
