Contents

Zonitoides lateumbilicatus is a species of small, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Gastrodontidae. [1]

Description

The altitude of the shell attains 1.4 mm, its diameter 4.3 mm.

(Original description) The shell resembles Pseudohyalina limatula (synonym of Zonitoides limatulus (A. Binney, 1840) ) in color, texture and sculpture, but it is much depressed. The upper surface is almost flat, the last whorl has a much smaller calibre, the umbilicus is very much wider, shallow. And its cavity is widely open and saucer-shaped, much as in Helicodiscus lineatus(Say, 1817) (synonym of Helicodiscus parallelus (Say, 1821)). [2]

Distribution

This calcifile species is found in eastern Kentucky and northeastern Alabama, USA.
