Distribution

Vertigo pseudosubstriata was first identified as a Pleistocene fossil in the Weichselian loess of Dolní Věstonice (Moravia, Czech Republic). [1] Further Pleistocene evidence followed in Central Europe. [1]

The first indications of recent occurrences of the species in the Tien Shan were submitted by Matěkin. [5] [1] Uvalieva (1967) [3] discovered the species anew in the Southern Altai Mountains and initially described it as Vertigo laevis (synonym). [1] In recent times to date, this species has been found in the Tien Shan, Altai Mountains, Pamir Mountains and Himalayas where it is relatively widespread in their alpine altitudes. [1]

The recent distribution of Vertigo pseudosubstriata includes:

Shell description

The shape of the shell is cylindrical-ovate. [5]

The width of the shell is 1.2 mm; the height of the shell is 2.1-2.2 mm. [5]
