Succinea putris is a species of small air-breathing land snail in the family Succineidae, the amber snails.
The 10-17 (27) x 6-8 mm has 3-4 whorls. These are relatively flat and with shallow sutures. The body whorl is massive and the aperture is much greater than 50% of shell height. The spire is small. In color the shell is amber yellow. The visible soft parts are yellow with a reddish hue, which becomes lighter downwards to the sides. The animal can also be dark grey.
The distribution of this species is Palearctic, in the Euro-Siberian region, including the following countries and islands:
This species lives in very damp places, such as on vegetation on river banks and marshes.
The lifespan of Succinea putris in laboratory conditions is 13 to 17 months. [6]
Parasites and parasitoids of this species include the trematodes Leucochloridium macrostomum and L. paradoxum , and the fly Pherbellia punctata . [7]
