We describe three new, allopatric species of springsnails (genus    Pyrgulopsis   ) from western California (   P.   lindae   ,    P.   ojaiensis   ,    P.   torrida   ) that were previously identified as    P.   stearnsiana   . The new species are differentiated from    P.   stearnsiana    and each other both by mtCOI sequences (3.9-9.9%) and details of penial morphology. We also provide a phylogeny with increased sampling which confirms a previous finding that    P.   stearnsiana    sensu stricto  is paraphyletic relative to two other California species (   P.   diablensis   ,    P.   giulianii   ). Our molecular and morphological evidence suggests that    P.   stearnsiana    paraphyly is an artifact of conservative taxonomy, however additional studies utilizing rapidly evolving genetic markers will be needed to confidently tease apart the cryptic diversity in this widely ranging springsnail. The new species described herein are narrowly distributed and vulnerable to anthropogenic stressors. The single known population of    P.   torrida    may have become extirpated between 2000 and 2015.
