1 Cepaea hortensis. 13.5mm high X 17mm wide. Pennine foothills, V.C. Derbyshire, England. August 2018.

Slightly depressed globular shell with convex whorls. Periphery of body whorl smoothly rounded; no keel (1).
No umbilicus on adults but the end of an unusually strong growth line (2) on this specimen could be mistaken for an umbilicus.
The palatal (outer) lip of adults has a white thickening and rib just within the rim (3). Externally, brown pigment usually does not extend onto the rim of the palatal lip; it is usually pale yellowish (4). On adults the lip becomes everted, and at the base a short section may be reflected to expose some of the white inner face. Exceptions occur with a dark lip or slight dark flush on the white (Cameron, 2008).
External ground colour of opaque shell is usually some shade of yellow with or without one to five brown spiral bands (5) which occasionally merge, see 9Ch 9 Cepaea hortensis. Pennine foothills, V.C. Derbyshire, England. August 2018. . Internally, the shell has a similar pattern to the exterior (6) .
