Vitrea transsylvanica is a species of small, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Pristilomatidae.MolluscaBase eds. (2023). MolluscaBase. Vitrea transsylvanica (Clessin, 1877). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1002780 on 2023-06-14
Description
The shell is small: 1.3-2.2 mm x 3.0-4.5 mm.
The body whorl is more inflated than in Vitrea subrimata and Vitrea subcarinata. The width, as seen from above, is around 2.3-2.6 times that of the penultimate whorl. The first whorls are denser arranged than in Vitrea subrimata. The aperture, as seen from above, is weakly curved (Nautilus-like protruded). There is no umbilicus
This species differs from Vitrea diaphana in its wider body whorl and its Nautilus-like protruded aperture (in Vitrea diaphana straight).[http://www.animalbase.uni-goettingen.de/zooweb/servlet/AnimalBase/home/species?id=2887 AnimalBase: Vitrea transsylvanica]
