Description

All the species of snails in the family of door snails are left-handed, which is an uncommon feature in gastropods in general.

The weight of the adult live snail is about 123 mg.{{cite journal |last1=Boch |first1=Steffen |last2=Prati |first2=Daniel |last3=Werth |first3=Silke |last4=Rüetschi |first4=Jörg |last5=Fischer |first5=Markus |last6=Evans |first6=Darren Mark |name-list-style=amp |title=Lichen endozoochory by snails |journal=PLOS ONE |date=2011 |volume=6 |issue=4 |pages=e18770 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0018770|pmid=21533256 |pmc=3076439 |doi-access=free }}
