Diagnosis.

Shell medium, elongate, whitish-corneous. Lower and upper whorls with dense, sharp ribs. Neck not or barely inflexed, ribs behind the aperture denser and finer. Basal and peripheral crests very weak. Peristome rounded to somewhat angular. Lamellae superior and spiralis long overlap. In front view lamella inferior moderately emerged, subcolumellaris mostly not visible. Lunella dorsal-dorsolateral, separate from the short basalis. Subclaustralis and sulcalis absent. Anterior plica superior mostly connected to the lunella complex.

Other material.

Distribution.

This taxon is known only from the vicinity of Tpejca at the shore of the Lake Ohrid (Fig. 14). At the type locality it occurs in the immediate vicinity of Montenegrina stankovici . The two taxa can often be found on the same cliffs, with Montenegrina stankovici preferring the lowest regions directly above the water surface, and Montenegrina dofleini pinteri inhabiting higher parts.
