Description
Nesovitrea hammonis has a light brown shell with about 3.5 whorls. The shell is shiny with characteristic regular, radial lines. These help as well to distinguish young N. hammonis from other young snails of the families Oxychilidae and Gastrodontidae.[1]
Habitat
The species can live in a wide range of habitats with dry to humid conditions. It can as well tolerate acidic soils.[1] Nesiovitrea hammonis can live in open sites, like meadows, but it generally occurs in wooded habitats and is often found in beech forests.[2]
