Additional material collected in September 2019 made it possible to clarify the range of conchological variability of Harmozica zangezurica recently described from the Syunik region of Armenia, which largely overlaps with that of Harmozica pisiformis thus rendering impossible the reliable identification of empty shells. At the same time the stability has been proven of a diagnostic feature of H. zangezurica – very long vaginal appendages whose length is approximately equal to the total length of the penis and epiphallus,. This character allows reliable distinguishing of H. zangezurica not only from the conchologically similar species H. pisiformis, but also from other representatives of the genus Harmozica. Some data on the ecology and life cycle of H. zangezurica were obtained.
