Material examined: Holotype ( RMNH.MOL.340494) and 2 paratypes ( RMNH.MOL.340495) from type locality.
Holotype: 2.2 mm high, 1.5 mm broad from type locality.
Paratypes: 2 paratypes from type locality, 1 adult and 11 subadult ex. in coll. Robert Reuselaars (no. 1264).
Locus typicus: spring 2 km of monastry Kapina , Epirus, Greece at 620 meters altitude ( Figure 4 View Figures 4-9 ), 39° 34' 01.13475'' N 21° 07' 19.90862'' E, 11.09.2019 Robert Reuselaars leg. GoogleMaps
Habitat: strong running spring, the specimen were sparsly found on the small stones (1 per 5-6 stones) beneath the outflow of the spring. This species occupies an area of only 1 m 2.
Etymology: Named after Kyriakos Papavasileiou who accompanied Robert Reuselaars at several trips in Greece and as to thank him for his help and support.
Description: The shell is ovate with 4-4.5 slightly convex whorls which are separated by a deep suture. The aperture is broad ovate to circular, angled at the top. The peristome is slightly reflexed at the columella. The umbilicus is closed. The body whorl takes 0.7 of shell height. The aperture is 0.8 mm high and 0.8 mm broad. The ratio of shell height to shell width is 1.6. The shell is 2.2-2.3 mm high and 1.4-1.5 mm broad.
Differentiating characters: The aperture is more circular than in B. gregoi , the umbilicus is closed and not slit-like.
