Carinigera megdova Nordsieck, 1974 Inchoatia megdova is a species of air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Clausiliidae, the door snails.

[2] Carinigera pharsalica has a less slender shell, the cervical keels are weaker, the suture is even less papillated, a dorsal lunula and no frontal upper palatalis, the outer edge of the clausilium is weaker.

[3] Inchoatia megdova is distributed in limestone areas in southern Epirus.

[3] Range: The type locality is Thessaly, Karditsa: Morfovouni, 1.25 km S of Mesenikolas.

[3] Other known locality is: West Greece, Aetolia-Acarnania: 2 km south of Ditiki Frangista, 600 m alt.

Also after a renewed investigation, based on newly collected material, the surprising observation by Hausdorf (1987) with regard to the distribution of Inchoatia megdova megdova, was confirmed by Gittenberger & Uit de Weerd (2009).

[3] The specific name bruggeni is in honour of Dutch malacologist Adolph Cornelis van Bruggen.

Cervical part of the body whorl is with a rounded basal keel, separated by an indentation from a rather prominent dorsal hump.

[3] Apertural lip is thickened by a whitish callus, broadly reflected, continuous but not protruding at the parietal side.

The lamella subcolumellaris is prominent, slightly curved and clearly visible in frontal view.

Plica principalis is prominent, reaching less far inside than the lamella spiralis, but clearly further than the upper palatal plica, thickened in front where it is connected with a (very) conspicuous white knob, which is shortly lengthened inside, without coming close to the lunella.

[3] Range: The type locality is "am Fluß Tavropos, Kalkfelsen bei der Brücke, 26 km von Karpenision, etwa 340 m ü.M.".

Gittenberger & Uit de Weerd (2009)[3] have found this subspecies at Evrytania, Greece: 11.5 km WNW of Karpenisi (road to Agrinio), 370 m alt.
