Graecoanatolica macedonica is an extinct species of small freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Hybrobiidae.
[edit] Distribution
This species existed primarily in Macedonia and Greece. The population of the snail first started to decline in the 1970s. Researchers were unable to locate the species after 1992, and it is now presumed extinct.
