Oxyloma elegans is a species of small European land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk belonging to the family Succineidae, the amber snails.
The shell usually has fewer than 3 whorls. The body whorl is very large and the spire is short. The shell is yellowish amber coloured with irregular radial growth lines. The width of the shell is 6–8 mm. The height of the shell is 9–17 mm (up to 20 mm). [2]
Genitalia differences separate Oxyloma elegans from Oxyloma sarsii and the genus Succinea . The epiphallus is slightly curved and inside a short penis prolongation distance between penis and the pedunculus is very short. [2]
Oxyloma elegans occurs on vegetation in moist habitats such as marshes.
