AB  - In this study, morphological data and DNA barcoding were used to re-examine voucher specimens of Torrenticola meridionalis Di Sabatino & Cicolani, 1990, from southern Italy and the Balkans. Populations from the Balkans previously attributed to T. meridionalis are herein described as a new species, T. eurytopica n. sp. This new species appears to be the only member of the genus in the Palaearctic known to inhabit both running waters (streams and rivers) and standing waters, such as the ancient Prespa Lake.
