Lampedusa imitatrix (Boettger, 1879) | |
Lampedusa imitatrix (common name: Maltese door-snail) is a species of small, very elongate, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Clausiliidae, the door snails, all of which have a clausilium.
This species is endemic to Malta. The population on the islet of Filfla might be a subspecies or a species in its own right. [1]
