Description
Rupestrella somalensis (Verdcourt, 1963)
Type locality: Somalia, northern region, Mait-Erigavo Escarpment, 5,900 feet alt.
Notes.—This species was originally classified with Granopupa. Based on the original description and figure, however, it clearly belongs to Rupestrella. As already mentioned by Verdcourt (1963) it appears to be affiliated with R. michaudi, based on the slender shell shape. Its geographical location is rather isolated. It extends the known distribution of the genus considerably southward.
