Remarks.

Hitherto only three locations of this species were known, all in Montenegro: the type locality near Rijeka Crnojevića ( Bole 1961a), more precisely Lipovik Spring near Rijeka Crnojevića (according to Radoman 1973, 1983); Vilina Cave near Virpazar ( Schütt 1975) and Vitoja Spring ( Glöer et al. 2015). This new record confirms the presence of this species in Albania and extends its known distribution within the Skadar Lake drainage. All known populations show some difference in the shell size and morphology, but the scarce material does not allow us to understand their significance, and thus, for the time being, we consider the above mentioned populations conspecific.
