The shell is amber-reddish in color, occasionally appearing whitish.

It is finely striated with spiral lines, forming a delicate reticular pattern, less prominent than in A. pura.

The animal itself is bluish-grey with a lighter sole and bluish-black upper tentacles.

[3] This shell is very similar to Aegopinella nitens, but has a different distribution being found in northwestern Europe.

This species occurs in these countries amongst others: Aegiponella nitidula prefers moderately humid to humid sites in forests, but it can occur in a wide range of habitats, for example hedges, rocks and spring areas.
