Description
[edit]The length of the shell varies between 13 mm and 14 mm, its diameter is 4 mm.
(Original description in Latin) It differs from Alopia livida straminicollis (Charpentier, 1852), to which it is very similar in appearance, by having a more constricted, somewhat turreted-fusiform shell, entirely smooth and frosted. It lacks palatal folds. [2]
Distribution
[edit]This species occurs in Romania. [1]
