Gastrocopta is the type genus of the subfamily Gastrocoptinae.[4] The height of the shell is about 2 mm.[1]

Distribution

edit

The Recent distribution of Gastrocopta includes North America, eastern Asia, central Asia[1] and South America (Brazil[5] and Venezuela).

In Europe, the genus Gastrocopta has been extirpated; its fossils there are known mainly from the Neogene, but its fossil range in Europe is from the Oligocene to the Lower Pleistocene.[1][6]
