Gulella streptostelopsis is a species of small air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Streptaxidae.
Gulella streptostelopsis was described by Adolph Cornelis van Bruggen in 2007 based on material (except for one specimen) obtained for the National Museum of Natural History in Leiden (Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum, formerly Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie) by Ms H.M. Meredith (Newquay, U.K.; formerly Malawi) and her co-workers in the period 1975-1988.
[1] The minute, almost smooth, shell (length 2.0-2.4 mm) resembles that of the genus Streptostele, but is characterized by three-fold apertural dentition and just under six whorls.
[1] In view of the similarity of the names and probable causes for confusion in possibly closely allied genera the epithet streptostelopsis was proposed.
[1] Many localities are sufficiently close to the borders of at least Zambia and Mozambique to predict occurrence in those countries, particularly as suitable habitat is available there.
[1] The shell is small to minute, clavate, more or less tapering, greatest width well below the middle, always more than two-and-a-half times as long as wide, transparent when fresh to whitish when worn.
