Distribution and habitat

This species is

Cima. The survival of this species is threatened by habitat loss and degradation, especially because of tourism development around coastal bays of Porto Santo. The recent programmes of both eradication of rabbits and removal of introduced plants have led to major improvements in the habitats on Cal and Cima.[1]
This snail can be found on bare earth beneath stones and logs.
