Pontophaedusa funiculum is a species of land snail, a gastropod in the family Clausiliidae, the door snails within the subfamily Serrulininae.[2] All door snails have a clausilium with which they can close the shell aperture.
This is the only known species within the Clausiliidae that lays eggs that have hard shells made of calcium carbonate.[3]
Distribution
Pontophaedusa funiculum lives on the eastern coast of the Black Sea from Sochi in Russia, though Georgia, to Trabzon in Turkey.[3]
