Albinaria ariadne is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Clausiliidae, the door snails. [3] The species is endemic to Crete. [1]

Contents

It has been stated that further research is necessary whether Albinaria ariadne is an independent species. Based on shell characters it seems closely related to Albinaria idaea , except that Albinaria ariadne has a weak basalis. [4]

Distribution

This species occurs in Greece. It is only known from a local occurrence near Orthés (S of Perama) in northern central Crete. [4] [5]
