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

However, DNA sequences revealed that this species is not closely related to Cepaea, but belongs instead to the genus Caucasotachea.

[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.
