 Diagnosis: Differs from similar F. turbiniformis in its larger size (SH, SW, P = 0; data for latter given below), darker body pigment, less prominent sperm storage area in the coiled oviduct, complete overlap of the seminal receptacle by the albumen gland, broader bursa copulatrix, absence of a seminal receptacle duct, and frequent occurrence of a papilla-like capsule gland opening. Distinguished from geographically proximal F. erosus and F. lunsfordensis (both described below) by its more elongate shell, more convex shell whorls, single basal cusp of the central radular tooth, and enlarged large central cusp of the lateral radular tooth. Also differs from the former in its larger size and from the latter by its weakly angled adapical portion of the aperture.   
 Description: Shell (Fig. 10A–K; Table 4) turbiniform to ovate-conic, rarely having eroded spire; height, 2.40–4.68 mm; whorls, 3.5–4.0. Protoconch 1.4 whorls, diameter approximately 0.70 mm. Teleoconch whorls medium to weakly convex, sometimes wider below, narrowly shouldered. Last 0.125 whorl rarely disjunct. Aperture broad, angled above. Parietal lip complete, slightly disjunct and thickened in larger specimens. Columellar lip usually medium width and overlapping part of umbilical region, sometimes narrow. Outer lip usually thin, prosocline. Shell anomphalous or narrowly rimate, umbilical region sometimes excavated. Periostracum tan, light brown, or red. Last 0.5 whorl of operculum very weakly frilled (Fig. 10L). Central radular tooth approximately 53 µm wide, cutting edge convex, lateral cusps four (one tooth having three); central cusp pointed; basal cusps one; basal tongue Vshaped, equal to lateral margin (Fig. 10O). Lateral tooth face broadly rectangular; central cusp rounded, lateral cusps two (inner), three to five (outer); outer wing flexed, medium length (Fig. 10N). Inner marginal teeth having 20–26 cusps (Fig. 10M, N). Outer marginal teeth having 24–38 cusps; basal wing rectangular (Fig. 10M). Head-foot dark brown, almost black. Ctenidium connected to pericardium by short, efferent branchial vessel; ctenidial filaments approximately 17, without pleats. Osphradium elongate, positioned opposite middle of ctenidium. Female reproductive anatomy shown in Figure 6B. Bursa copulatrix horizontal, pyriform or triangular, duct short. Seminal receptacle medium-sized, overlapped by albumen gland. Albumen gland having pronounced rectal furrow. Capsule gland a little longer than albumen gland. Genital aperture a short slit, usually forming a small papilla. Penis medium-sized, narrow, coiled, distal end pointed (Fig. 7B). Base and medial section grey, pigment concentrated along penial duct. Penial duct near centrally positioned, weakly undulating in proximal section.   
 Distribution: Distributed within the drainage of the south fork of the Pit River, and along the Pit River just above Big Valley (upper Pit River basin) (Fig. 9).   
 Etymology: The species name refers to the type locality area in the Warner Mountains, north-eastern California.   
 Remarks: Populations allocated to F. warnerensis vary somewhat in shell form (Fig. 10A–K). Nonetheless they share diagnostic morphological features, are little divergent genetically (0–0.6% for COI, 0–0.3% for cytb), and were consistently depicted as a well-supported monophyletic group (Figs 2–4), justifying recognition as a single species. In all of the phylogenetic analyses, F. warnerensis was depicted as most closely related to F. turbiniformis, with moderate to strong bootstrap support (75–100%). Haplotypes of these two species differ by 2.3–2.6% (COI) and 3.6–3.9% (cytb).   
 This species was referred to as Fluminicola n. sp. 13 by Frest & Johannes (1995a).
