Oxychilus cellarius, common name cellar glass-snail, [2] is a species of small air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Oxychilidae, the glass snails.
The shell has 5.5-6 regularly increasing whorls. The last whorl is not inflated and narrower than in Oxychilus draparnaudi . The shell is nearly smooth and shiny and only very faintly striated. The umbilicus is moderately deep and open. [3]
The width of the shell is 7–11 mm, 0.28–0.43 in (14 mm, 0.55 in maximum). The height of the shell is 4.5–6 mm, 0.18–0.24 in. [3]
The animal is usually pale bluish grey. Genitalia: Penis cylindrical without constrictions (in contrast to Oxychilus draparnaudi), rows of papillae of penis continuous without interruption (interrupted at the constriction in Oxychilus draparnaudi). [3]
This species occurs in countries and islands including:
