Abstract	From Greece, based on conchological characters, a single, endemic Sphincterochila species has been reported about a century ago. Its occurrence is still thought to be restricted to the islet of Andikithira. The structure of the genitalia, hitherto unknown, demonstrates that it concerns a separate species indeed; its closest relatives known are two Libyan species. These three species differ from the Sphincterochila species studied so far most clearly by the stimulatory organ, inserting not on the genital atrium but far more distally on the vagina. They are classified within Cerigottella subgen. nov.
