We have investigated the genital system of several Enidae taxa from the northeastern part of Turkey that have previously been assigned to the genera Imparietula and Pseudochondrula. Four distinct groups can be recognized, which are mainly characterized by the inner structure of the penis and to a lesser extent on the shell. These are Imparietula (the flattened lobe is attached to the penis wall; penial papilla absent; the shell without a parietalis and a columellaris but with a palatalis superior), Pseudochondrula (the elongated lobe is free from the penis wall; penial papilla absent; the shell with a well-developed parietalis, columellaris and palatalis superior), Anatolya gen. nov. (presence of a penial papilla that is covered with irregular folds and narrow grooves; the shell without a parietalis and a columellaris but with an indistinct thickening at the height of the palatalis superior), and Pseudojaminia gen. nov. (two parallel V-shaped lobes that are partially attached to the penis wall; penial papilla absent; shell with or without a parietalis, columellaris and/or palatalis superior). These four groups are considered to have genus status; the latter two are described as new to science.
