Amphorella hypselia is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial gastropod mollusc in the family Ferussaciidae.

Description

(Original description in Latin) Cecilioides acicula (O. F. Müller, 1774) is similar, but with a shell that is twice as large, more solid, and robust, and is thus completely distinct in appearance.

It differs from Amphorella gracilis (R. T. Lowe, 1831) by having a more solid, non-hyaline shell, an aperture that is obliquely produced upward and backward, and a columella that is prominently truncated versus notched at the base. ^[2]

Distribution

This species is endemic to Madeira, Portugal.
