Abstract
Pyrgulopsis hecshleri, a new species, is described from the Coosa Rive r, Alabama. It is closely related to three species from the Tennessee River system of northern Alabama. It is distinguished by characteristi cs of the shell and soft anatomy. The new species was incorrectly iden tified in earlier literature as Amnicola olivacea Pilsbry, 1895 (= Pyr gulopsis olivacea).
