Distribution of M. oshanovae in Bulgaria by literature data (Map 7): PINTER I. & L. PINTER (1970): M. (M.) oshanovae: Marikostinovo (FL98), Petrich (FL88), Skrat (FL68).

PINTER I. & L. PINTER (1970) describe the species for region of Petrich in South Western Bulgaria. Nevertheless the genital anatomy is investigated the data presented by authors are unsufficient to clearly differentiation of the species from others relative Monacha species. The drawing of genitalia can’t confirm categorically the independence of this species. The picture of the shell "small, like of Perforatella " resemble to shells of young animals (subadult) of M. claustralis , where appendix initially to some extent is simple (like of M. oshanovae ) and subsequently form clearly differentiated basal and apical sections.

We consider there is needful investigation of genital anatomy in details and check-up the material of M. oshanovae in the future, wherefore we assume the taxon validity only conventional.
