| Abstract | Gulella dejae sp. n., G. hamerae sp. n., G. latimerae sp. n. and G. newmani sp. n. are described from the Transkei region, Eastern Cape, South Africa. All are unusual amongst southern African Gulella species in having a peristome which is not interrupted in the parietal region, G. latimerae sp. n. and G. newmani sp. n. also being exceptional in having a detached apertural tube. The conservation of the species is discussed in relation both to their restricted ranges and to the vulnerability of forest habitats in which they occur. All appear to meet the criteria for red-listing as threatened species. |
