Pseudamnicola pieperi is a species of very small freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the family Hydrobiidae.[1][2]

Geographic distribution

P. pieperi is endemic to Greece, where it occurs on the island of Carpathos.[1][2] The species was originally known only from its type locality, a spring near the village of Aperi; however, in 2012 it was found at seven new localities, a fact which might indicate that its conservation status needs to be updated.[3]
