Diagnosis Shell ca. 1.8 mm, conic, transparent, peristome roundish to oval, with a straight or rounded parietal shield, columella with a parietalis and a weak columellaris.
Measurements (n = 41): sh: 1.54–2.06 mm (mean: 1.808 ± 0.122 mm); sw: 1–1.4 mm (mean: 1.186 ± 0.066 mm); ah: 0.73–1.09 mm (mean: 0.947 ± 0.062 mm); aw: 0.7–0.86 mm (mean: 0.773 ± 0.037 mm); number of whorls: 4.75–4.75 (mean: 5.146 ± 0.216).
Description Shell conical, translucent when fresh; on average, greatly variable, taller and more slender than its relatives (especially in the north of its range and close to that of Z. robustum ); whorl often slightly shouldered, sometimes with an obtuse keel; aperture taller than wide, especially pronounced in shells of the northernmost cave (Pivnica špilja), but hardly pronounced in shells from Jama na Škrilama; parietal shield well-differentiated from the lip, its margin usually slightly convex; parietalis present in the aperture with varying prominence, its size increasing until reaching its maximum at half a whorl into the shell; columellaris either present in the aperture, starting just behind the aperture or absent; if present, rapidly decreasing in size within half a whorl; columella sometimes thickened from just below the parietalis down almost to the base, forming a frequently subdivided bump incorporating the columellaris (when present).
Not really separable from other smooth-shelled species within the Z. frauenfeldii clade (such as Z. frauenfeldii , Z. pagodulum , Z. robustum ), though generally larger, with a more variable whorl and aperture shape.
Etymology Named for the large aperture frequently observed in specimens from the Locus typicus (lat.: bucculentus: having a large mouth).
Distribution (Supplementary Fig. S12) Endemic to the northwestern part of the Karlovac region, Croatia. Genetic records are from three caves: Pivnica špilja ( Fig. 8m View Fig ), Jama na Škrilama ( Fig. 8o View Fig ) and Vrelić špilja ( Fig. 8n View Fig ). Nonmolecularly-assessed specimens from Zvonečka II ( Fig. 8 k View Fig ) and Jama Đot ( Fig. 8l View Fig ) are morphologically considered to belong to this species.
