description: <i>Multidentula</i> Lindholm, 1925 <i>Multidentula</i> Lindholm, 1925: 30, 39. Type species (by monotypy): <i>Bulimus ovularis</i> Olivier, 1801. <i>Bollingeria</i> Forcart, 1940: 194. Type species (by original designation): <i>Chondrus pupoides</i> Krynicki, 1833. <i>Tokatia</i> Hudec, 1972: 217. Type species (by original designation): <i>Bulimus lamelliferus</i> Rossmässler, 1858. <i>Improvisa</i> Schileyko, 1978: 846. Type species (by monotypy): <i>Chondrus pupoides</i> Krynicki, 1833. <i>Senaridenta</i> Schileyko, 1978: 846. Type species (by monotypy): <i>Chondrula</i> (<i>Chondrula</i>) <i>nachicevanjensis</i> Hudec, 1972. The genus <i>Multidentula</i> is known from the Caucasus, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, northwestern Iran and the northern half of Turkey; its presence in Cyprus is questionable (Bank &amp; Neubert, 2015: 73). The following species belong to the genus: <i>lamellifera</i> (Ross- mässler, 1858), <i>nachicevanjensis</i> (Hudec, 1972), <i>ovularis</i> (Olivier, 1802), <i>pupoides</i> (Krynicki, 1833), <i>ridens</i> (Nägele, 1906) and <i>squalina</i> (L. Pfeiffer, 1848). The latter species is polytypic and is almost endemic for Turkey. Forcart (1940: 197-199, pl. 3 figs 64-65) mentioned <i>M. s. squalina</i> and <i>M. s. eudoxina</i> (Nägele,1894) for Turkey. Based on a single shell, Lindholm (1922b: 358-359) described <i>Chondrula acutior</i> from Georgia; this shell (holotype) has been figured by Sysoev &amp; Schileyko (2009: fig. 38E) under the name <i>Euchondrus acutior</i>. It has never been found again after the de- scription from Lindholm. Our revision revealed that this taxon is also distributed in the northeastern part of Turkey, and that it is a subspecies of <i>M. squalina</i>. We here characterize this virtually unknown subspecies, and also describe a new species from Turkey.
