ABSTRACT
Xenodiscula Pilsbry, 1919 is a poorly known genus of micro gastropods with a seemingly wide distribution in Middle and South America. The main purpose of this paper is to describe a new species from the Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena hotspot, Xenodiscula yumbo sp. nov., as well as providing a redescription and updated distribution data for all known taxa. Hopefully this will stimulate further research into this genus.
