Live individuals of various age classes, along with numerous empty shells, were found in a residential area including two yards of a building materials shop. With other recent new sightings in the northern portion of its range, this find expands the distribution range of the species northwards. It also increases the list of terrestrial gastropod species of southern European origin settling in the Benelux.
