Imparietula Lindholm, 1925

Imparietula Lindholm, 1925: 30 , 39. Type species (by monotypy): Bulimus leucodon L. Pfeiffer, 1846 .

Forcart (1940: 206) considered Pseudochondrula a synonym of Imparietula , which was followed by Gittenberger (1967: 130-137), Akramowski (1976: 154-158) and Hausdorf (1999: 153). Schileyko (1984: 288, 306) separated Pseudochondrula from Imparietula , which was followed by Bank & Neubert (1998: 81). In his latest edition of the Turkish land snails, Schütt (2010: 97-99) also separated Pseudochondrula from Imparietula , and included the following taxa into the latter genus: altenai ( Gittenberger, 1967), pelidne (Biggs, 1946) , leucodon (L. Pfeiffer, 1846) (with lasistanicus as a synonym), bre- vior (Mousson, 1876) and ridvani Schütt, 1995. Following a taxonomic revision, Páll-Gergely & Bank (in press) raised lasistanica (Lindholm, 1914) to species level, and excluded brevior as a representative of Imparietula . By doing so, Imparietula has become a genus that is endemic for the northeastern part of Turkey. We here introduce another species to the genus.
