Rupestrella somalensis ( Verdcourt, 1963)
Type locality: Somalia, northern region, Mait-Erigavo Escarpment , 5,900 feet alt .
Notes.—This species was originally classified with Granopupa . Based on the original description and figure, however, it clearly belongs to Rupestrella . As already mentioned by Verdcourt (1963) it appears to be affiliated with R. michaudi , based on the slender shell shape. Its geographical location is rather isolated. It extends the known distribution of the genus considerably southward.
