Pseudamnicola oudrefica (Letourneux & Bourguignat)

Oudhref Pseudamnicola Snail (Pseudamnicola oudrefica)

The Oudhref Pseudamnicola Snail was described in 1887, it was apparently restricted to a place somewhere near the village of Oudhref in the Gabès Governorate, Tunisia.

This species has not been found since the 19th century and is now extinct.

I could not find any other information about this species so far, it appears that no one really cares for molluscs, let alone small to tiny ones.

Bythinella microcochlia Letourneux & Bourguignat

Dwarf Spring Snail (Bythinella microcochlia)  

This species was found only once at the end of the 19th century near the town of Oudref in the Gabès Governorate in Tunisia.  

Searches in the 70s of the 20th century failed to find any specimens, and the species is considered extinct since then.

The Singular Pseudamnicola Snail was described in 1887, it was apparently restricted to two localities; one somewhere near the village of Oudhref and the second one near Gabès, the capital city of the Gabès Governorate, both in Tunisia.

The species was never found again since its description and appears to be extinct.
