Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
E. V. Syromyatnikova and I. G. Danilov 2009A species of Adocus that can be differentiated from other species of the genus by smaller shell size (except A. amtgai and A. kizylkumensis). Besides that, it can be differentiated from A. aksary and A. amtgai by the straight anterior border of the nuchal and overlapping of marginals onto the costals beginning with marginal 5; from A. amtgai and A. beatus – by shape of the cervical scale. For more detailed comparison see Table 1.
