Abstract
A new species of the genus Islamia Radoman, 1973 is described for the Valencian Community in Spain. This is the first species of this genus discovered in this territory, and it can be distinguished from other known species by the morphology of the shell. The spring where it was found has another known endemic mollusc, thus being a place of high interest for the stygobiont malacofauna.
