Abstract

In the summer of 1988 we collected five empty shells of a so far unknown Serrulininae species near Sochi, in the Western caucasus. Although the shells were found in flotsam material of two coastal streams, one of them was preserved in fully coloured and translucent condition suggesting that they belong to an extant species. This species, which also represents a new genus of the subfamily, is characterized and its relation to other taxa is discussed.
