Habitat

The species is found only on limestone rocks.

Life cycle

The scanning electron microscope images show (above) the lateral view of the love dart, scale bar 500 μm (0.5 mm); and (below) a cross section of the dart, scale bar 50 μm.

The diameter of the egg of this species is 3.3 mm.

These snails create and use love darts during mating.
