Etymology: Named after the town (Göksun) where the new species was collected.

Description

Shell. The horn-colored solid shell is conical with 4.5 whorls which are slightly convex with a deep suture ( Figs. 2A, C). The whorls are regularly fast growing with a prominent body whorl. The umbilicus is open to slit-like. The aperture is oval with an angle at the top and a thick periostome, flanged at the columella. Juveniles are spherical. The shells are 4.5 mm in height and 3.4 mm broad.

Body. The mantel is black with a whitish border, eye spots are visible. The operculum is yellowish transparent. The penis is triangular without any outgrowth, very broad at the base and acute at the distal end ( Fig. 2B).

Differentiating features: The new species can be easily be distinguished from P. vinarskii Glöer & Georgiev, 2012 by the shell shape (conical in P. goksunensis vs. elongated-conical in P. vinarskii ). Furthermore, additional differences are found in the shell’s size of the compared species ( 2 mm in P. vinarskii vs. 4.5 mm in P. goksunensis ).

Habitat: The type locality of Pseudamnicola goksunensis n. sp. is a fast flowing stream (with associated canals and pools), with a poorly developed vegetation and a stony bottom. The new species was collected from a small canal. The second locality, Göksunsuyu stream is a big and fast flowing stream ( Fig. 1C). It is worth to note that both localities are not typical habitats for pseudamnicolid snails.
