Abstract: 
We give an overview of 21 species of the freshwater gastropod family Bithyniidae occurring in the Balkans and Asia Minor and discuss their enigmatic distribution in this region. Some large lakes are inhabited by up to three distinct species, while the famous ancient Lake Ohrid is free of bithyniid species. All species, except B. radomani, live as endemics in lakes or drainage systems. Possible reasons are on the one hand the retarded passive dispersal because of a special reproduction strategy and, on the other hand, a small niche width of the species. We also describe four new species: Pseudobithynia kirkan. sp., P. panetolisn. sp., P. trichonisn. sp., and Bithynia kastoriasn. sp.
