Bythinella turca is a species of very small freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the family Bythinellidae.[2]
The species is endemic to Turkey, and is currently Critically endangered due to the clearing and "improvement" of the spring in which it lives for human recreational purposes.[1]
