Helix quimperiana Férussac, 1821 Elona quimperiana, common name the escargot de Quimper ("Quimper snail"), is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Elonidae.

[3] Férussac's original text (the type description) reads in the French language as follows: QUIMPERINA, nobis.

Les bords de Briec l'Odet, près Quimper en Bretagne.

Elle a été découverte par Mrs De Kermovan et Bonnemaison; Comm.

Desmarest.Which means in English: "Habitat: Margin of Briec (Briec-de-l'Odet) near Quimper in Brittany.

Mating takes place at mid-season and laying, usually underground, is deposited in tiny natural tunnels of the soil.

There are two annual breeding periods in Brittany, with hatching occurring in the spring (April–May) and in the fall (September–October).

[9] This species of snail feeds on mycelia found on rotten, dead stumps (principally oak).

Like many other terrestrial gastropods, Elona quimperiana has a relatively limited dispersal capacity and probably survived during the Quaternary glaciations through significant fluctuations in its distribution area, just as its deciduous forest habitat did.
