Habitat: Tiffert is a rheocenous spring (flows directly on the ground) located at an altitude of 7 m, and flows into a large basin before joining the Moulouya River at about 50m. The banks are natural, with a dense tree-lined vegetation on the banks and weak sunlight. The grain size of the bottom consists of blocks, stones, pebbles and a lot of plant debris. Located in a rural environment, it is subjected to strong anthropic pressure: washing of linen, pumping of water for irrigation and domestic use.
Etymology: named after the sampling site.
Description: The light corneous glossy shell is valvatoid, conical with a very short spire and a very prominent inflated body whorl. The 3.5 whorls are fast growing, the apex is blunt. The aperture is nearly circular, at the top attached to the shell wall over a short distance with a rounded angle.The umbilicus is wide, not covered by the last whorl. The shell is 0.8 mm high and 1.3 mm broad.
Associated species: Aghbalia aghbalensis n. gen. n. sp.
