Notes

Shell small, yellow-brown, lucent, flattened, with very few, packed coils. The specimen was collected in the underbrush. This species inhabits the leaf litter in broad-leaved, deciduous forests, as well as woods, fields, rocks and gardens; rarely it also inhabits acidic places, such as conifer plantations ( Kerney and Cameron 1979, Cossignani and Cossignani 1995). It can also be found at water margins and in cultivated areas with moist meadows ( Welter-Schultes 2012). This is the first report for the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine and Emilia-Romagna areas.
