Serrulina (Serrulina) goettingi - Brandt 1961: p. 18, plate 2 fig. 17

Type locality.

Turkey, Bolu Province, vicinity of Lake Abant.

Distribution.

Southeastern Bulgaria and northwestern Turkey to Samsun toward east.

Habitat.

Humid broadleaf forests; in the trunks and roots of decaying trees.

Remark.

This species does not occur in Georgia. An empty shell (ZMMU Lc-29847), collected from sea flotsam at the Black Sea coast of Adjara, was presented erroneously as Serrulinella senghanensis (Germain, 1933) (Egorov 2001; Sysoev and Schileyko 2009). It belongs to Dobatia goettingi, which has also been recorded from coastal flotsam of the Crimean Peninsula (Retowski 1887; Reischütz et al. 2016).
