Abstract

A sinistral (reversed-coiled) specimen of Vallonia pulchel­la is recorded from a Quaternary deposit near Serényfalva, Hungary. Although Vallonia specimens of the exclusively dextral genus Vallonia are encountered in large quantities, both Recent and fossil, this seems to be first reliable record of a sinistral specimen.
