REMARKS
Minute species, with a characteristic pointed apex. The morphology of the shells of the present material is consistent with the representatives of this species. As mentioned for Retusa truncatula, Vollvulela acuminata is either an extremely long lived species or a species complex that includes specimens that have similar and indistinguishable morphologies. In the Early Miocene the species is missing from the Aquitanian and Loire Basins in France, where Volvulella acuta ( Grateloup, 1827) is present ( Landau et al. 2013).
