The Turkish members of Ramusculus are revised. Ayna is described as a new genus. It is characterized by an extremely slender shell with only a single angular denticle in the aperture, the lack of a diverticulum of the bursa copulatrix and by the inner structure of the penis by the presence of two longitudinal rolls. The monospecific genus Ayna (A. mienisi (Gittenberger 1986)) is known only from northeastern Anatolia.
