...nhouses (BODON et al. 2004). It appears that H. minuscula can live in a wide variety of habitats. In the eastern United States it is regarded as a bare ground dweller, never occurring in leaf litter (=-=HUBRICHT 1985-=-), like in Bermuda (BIELER & SLAPCINSKY 2000). According to HUBRICHT (1985), it was found crawling on the bare ground of floodplains, meadows, roadsides, along railroads and on waste ground in urban a...

In Europe H. minuscula is known as an anthropochorous species, like in Madeira, North Africa and Israel (=-=RIEDEL 1998-=-). The first European finding comes from an orchid-house in Nottingham (England) where the snail was found in 1883 (ELLIS 1969, as Zonitoides minusculus).
