Guadiella arconadae Boeters, 2003 View in CoL
( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 D-F, 4C)
Type locality: Merindad de Río Ubierna , spring at north side of San Martín de Ubierna, Burgos province, 900 m a.s.l. (Fig. 6C) .
Material examined: 43 shells in SQS collection from the type locality, collected in 2023 (SQS leg.)
Remarks: Based on anatomical traits and the stygobitic habitat, in the original description the species was provisionally assigned to Guadiella . A single SEM image of the shell was provided, but no data related to its microsculpture. The type locality was visited by the first author of this note, which allowed the gathering of fresh, new material. New SEM images reveal a protoconch microsculpture formed by small undulations or excavations ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 D-E), irregularly displayed, and a rough surface of the teleoconch, with few growth lines
( Fig. 3F View FIGURE 3 ). A number of shells from this new material were measured, allowing description of shell variability ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 D-F, 4C, 5 and Table I).
