Occurrence : recordedBy: Pedroni ; individualCount: 1 ; occurrenceID: C6EBFEE0-B361-5441-B9D3-6CFF0076345B ; Location : country: Italy ; locality: Monte Adone (top) (9), PMS ; verbatimElevation: 654 m ; Identification : identifiedBy: Pedroni ; Event : eventDate: 13.XII.2021 Notes Shell solid, globular, ranging from brown to reddish-brown; border of the aperture white; the last part of the last coil leans towards the aperture. Adult specimens of this subspecies inhabit moderately open and sunny habitats, avoiding excessive moisture, as is the case for the top of Monte Adone. It is possible, even if uncommon, to find individuals of this subspecies in deciduous woods, either in the leaf litter or on trunks or in hedgerows and scrub ( Kerney and Cameron 1979 , Cossignani and Cossignani 1995 , Girod 2011 ). It lives in shrubs, between leaves and semi-dry meadows at sunny slopes, up to 1,600 m a.s.l. ( Welter-Schultes 2012 ).
