Caucasotachea vindobonensis is a large species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod in the family Helicidae.

[9][10] It occurs in Albania,[1] Austria,[1] Bulgaria,[11] Bosnia and Herzegovina,[1] Croatia,[1] Czech Republic (near threatened (NT)[12]),[13] Germany (reintroduced),[1] Greece,[1] Hungary,[1] Italy,[1] Latvia,[14] Moldova,[1] Poland,[1] North Macedonia,[1] Romania, [1] Slovakia,[1] Russia (Rostov Oblast, Stavropol Krai, Krasnodar Krai; Moscow Region as an introduction[15]) Serbia,[11] Slovenia,[1] and Ukraine.

[11] The original habitat of C. vindobonensis was most probably open forests in the Balkans, from where it spread over large parts of Central and Eastern Europe after the last glaciation.

[17] Because Greece is in the southernmost part of the distribution area, the phenology for this species might be quite different in the more northerly countries where it is found.

During hot summer days, these snails rest attached to leaves or the stems of tall plants.
