The sole species lives in the Crimean Peninsula.[2] The only species belonging to Ramusculus is Bulimus subulata Rossmässler 1837. Zebrina (Ramusculus) mienisi Gittenberger 1986 living in Erzurum Province (northeast Turkey) was also assigned to Ramusculus, but was subsequently placed in a separate genus, Ayna Páll-Gergely, 2009.[3]
