Abstract
    A land snail from an altitude of 2300 m on Tahtalı Mountain in southern Türkiye is described as a new species, Metafruticicola diva Örstan & Yıldırım spec. nov. The new species is distinguished from the previously known high-altitude Metafruticicola species by its unbanded shell with short hairs and anatomical characteristics.
