Zospeum vasconicum is a cave-dwelling species of air-breathing land snails (Eupulmonata, Ellobioidea, Carychiinae).
[1] The species Zospeum vasconicum is named after the pre-Roman Era Vascones Tribe (from Latin gens Vasconum), which at the arrival of the Romans during the 1st century, inhabited a territory spanning the region between the upper course of the Ebro River and the southern basin of the western Pyrenees.
[1] They were identified on densely perforated mats of fine mud lining the walls of the upper level of the cave.
Near this population, translucent Zospeum shells were found embedded in a thick, uniform layer of mud, superficially interspersed with yellow, clumped strands of fungal aggregations.
They found fresh empty shells in relative abundance at various spots in the caves, where Zospsum vasconicum occur.
