Status
Endangered
Scientific name
Eucobresia pegorarii
Taxonomy
Gastropoda · Stylommatophora · Vitrinidae · Eucobresia

The land snail

It was first described by Pollonera in 1884.

These are the familiar land snails and slugs: air-breathing gastropods with a lung, not a gill.

Gastropods are snails and slugs. The animal is the soft body; the shell, when present, is grown, not worn like a stone.

Range and habitat

Eucobresia pegorarii is recorded from Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and Germany.

GBIF currently lists 208 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.

Diet

Snails move on a single foot and feed with a rasping tongue. Island and spring species rarely recolonise once the site is emptied.
