Type species Onubiella suberensis View in CoL sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Very small, valvatiform, planispiral or very low spire, 3 convex whorls with clear suture (especially dorsal side) and very open umbilicus. Protoconch mottled with very fine pits, otherwise smooth with growth lines. Aperture round, peristome slightly reflected. Penis simple without any outgrowth.
Remarks. The genus differs from other valvatiform hydrobiids in the narrow neck between the last whorl and the slightly reflected peristome. Besides this, the genus Iberhoratia Arconada & Ramos, 2007 View in CoL has a much higher spire, deeper sutures and a deeper and narrower umbilicus ( Arconada et al., 2017). Note that besides shell morphology, Callot-Girardi & Boeters (2012) used the anatomy of Corbellaria Callot-Girardi & Boeters, 2012 View in CoL to differentiate it from other valvatiform genera. Such information is not yet available for Onubiella View in CoL , except for the penis.
Species included. Thus far the only species is Onubiella suberensis View in CoL sp. nov.
Etymology. Onub- refers to Onuba, the Phoenician name for the province of Huelva where the genus has been found; – iella is a diminutive ending. Gender feminine.
