Caucasotachea Vindobonensis
''Caucasotachea vindobonensis'' is a species of medium-sized air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod in the family Helicidae. The scientific name is derived from the Celtic settlement Vindobona, now known as Vienna, the capital of Austria. This species was assigned to the genus ''Cepaea'' for a long time. However, molecular biologist research showed, that this species is not closely related to ''Cepaea'', but belongs instead to the genus ''Caucasotachea''. Description The right-coiled, globular shell of ''C. vindobonensis'' is about 17–21 mm high and 20–25 mm broad with 5,5-6 whorls. The umbilicus is completely covered in adult specimens. The lip is always red-brown at the inner and outer side with a fine white stripe at its margin. This specific lip coloration allows to separate it from the conchological similar ''Cepaea hortensis'' (pure white lip) and ''Cepaea nemoralis'' (consistent dark brown lip), with which ''C. vindobonensis'' often co ...
