Dear Henk,
I have a single specimen labelled as
Eremina inexpectata Pallary, .
It is not self collected and I do not recall seeing a description for this
species, but it is a distinctively keeled medium sized shell with
semi-reticulate sculpture.
Locality is Tah, West Sahara (South Tarfaya, Morocco)
under rocks in desert by J.Ahuir, May l995
Regards
Geoff
