Subspecies

Description

The shell is small: 1.3-2.2 mm x 2.5–5 mm (diameter 2.6-2.7 mm at 3 whorls, 3.5-3.8 mm at 4 whorls)

The shell is colourless and transparent. It contains 4-5 whorls. The width of the body whorl as seen from above is 1.2-1.7 times that of the penultimate whorl. The umbilicus is very narrow but is present (difference to Vitrea diaphana). The columellar margin is pointed and slightly protruded and covers the umbilicus only very weakly. The shell is very variable, except the characteristic form of the columellar margin at the umbilicus. The morphological variation has been associated with subspecies, but the nature of the variation is not yet understood. Two forms may co-occur with and without intermediates, other populations may consist of only one single form. [4]

Karl Hermann Johannes Thiele was a German zoologist specialized in malacology. Thiele was born in Goldap, East Prussia. His Handbuch der systematischen Weichtierkunde is a standard work. From 1904 until his retirement in 1925 he was the curator of the malacological collection at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin. Thiele described more than 1.500 new species of molluscs; until today their types are deposited with the Museum of Natural History in Berlin. Especially important are his works on the Mollusca of the First German Antarctica Expedition and of the German Deep Sea Expedition aboard the vessel Valdivia.
