Zonitoides apertus is a species of small air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Gastrodontidae. [2]
The altitude of the shell is 2.1 mm, its diameter 4.7 mm.
(Original description) The shell is depressed and has a wide, open umbilicus. The spire is lightly convex. Its color is pale greenish corneous-brown when fresh. "Dead" shells are light brown. The glossy surface is closely, deeply and irregularly striate throughout except the first whorl which is nearly smooth. There are no spiral striae. The shell contains four whorls. These are slightly increasing at first. The body whorl is much wider, double the width of the penultimate whorl. They are rounded at the periphery. The aperture is oblique, oval-lunate, decidedly wider than high. The peristome is simple. [3]
This species occurs in Japan.
Henry Augustus Pilsbry was an American biologist, malacologist and carcinologist, among other areas of study. He was a dominant presence in many fields of invertebrate taxonomy for the better part of a century. For much of his career, his authority with respect to the classification of certain substantial groups of organisms was unchallenged: barnacles, chitons, North American terrestrial mollusks, and others.
