Moitessieria sp.02

Species under study.
Stygobiont, from a spring in the north of the Pyrénées-Orientales. Altitude ≈ 280m. 1,75mm.
Microsculpture similar to those of fontsaintei, massoti or simoniana: micro spiral threads crossed by thin growth-marks. But fontsaintei (peculiarly), massoti and maybe simoniana are more conical; also, massoti and above all simoniana have mor wavy radials. Finally, fontsaintei has flatter whorls.
