Genus Sumia View in CoL gen. nov.

Type species: Sumia macedonica View in CoL n. gen. et n. sp.

Description. The shell is ovate-conic with 4-5 whorls. The whorls are slightly convex, the aperture is ovate with a simple outer lip. The penis is long and slender.

Differentiating features: The penis of Grossuana spp. resemble that of Sumia but the shells are much smaller and the whorls are less convex. Pyrgohydrobia Radoman, 1955 has a long triangular penis with a broad basis, very different from Sumia . At least no species could be found in the Balkans with a similar morphology of the penis and the shell.

Etymology: Named after the spring Šum where the type species of this genus were collected.
