Islamia graeca Radoman

Greek Islamia Snail (Islamia graeca)

This species was described in 1973; it was endemic to Lake Amvrakia in the Aetolia-Acarnania region on the mainland of Greece.

The species was restricted to the sublittoral zones of the lake; a habitat that today has almost completely fell dry due to over-extraction of water from the lake.
