Notes

Shell cylindrical, short, stubby, brownish. Only one specimen out of four was collected at a depth of about 40 cm, near Campiuno on reddish soil. The subspecies is typically found on calcareous soils in the underbrush litter, as well as at the base of rocks, in sunny calcareous areas, on screes and walls ( Cossignani and Cossignani 1995, Kerney and Cameron 1979, Welter-Schultes 2012, Nardi and Niero 2013). The subspecies can be found up to 1,300 m a.s.l. in Switzerland ( Welter-Schultes 2012).
