Inchoatia haussknechti

The shell is dark horny brownish, very finely striated, slightly coarser at the cervix.

[2] Inchoatia haussknechti is distributed in limestone areas from south Epirus to Central Greece.

[1][3] The type locality ‘Gion Skala’, apparently a high, narrow passage, cut through the rocks at the northern side of the Voutsikaki Mountains, could be located on the basis of the detailed excursion report by Stussiner, in Boettger (1886: 47).

[3] Notes: The population that was discovered recently at an isolated limestone outcrop near Mesochori [el], is located 45 km SE of the type locality.

It should be investigated whether these disjunctions, which are quite extreme when compared with the distributional patterns of the other subspecies, are not correlated with any taxonomically relevant differentiation.

[3] Synonyms include:[3] Diagnosis: Initial teleoconch whorls with lengthened white papillae, without regular riblets; parietal side of the apertural border not protruding; lamella parietalis short; lamella columellaris (very) low; lunella rather prominent.

[3] Range: This subspecies is only known from the type locality: Greece, Thessalia, Trikala: 1 km W of Pyli (= Pili), near the classical bridge, 300 m alt.

The Mt Oeta is nowadays called Oiti or Iti Oros (situated 20 km SW of Lamia).

[3] The material examined by Gittenberger & Uit de Weerd (2009) is listed as: "Greece, Fthiotida/Fokida, Mt.

[3] Synonyms include:[3] Diagnosis: Only the initial whorls of the teleoconch and the cervical part with sharp, partly whitened riblets; parietal side of the apertural border not protruding; lamella columellaris shortly protruding into the aperture; lunella prominent.
