Vallonia declivis is a species of very small air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Valloniidae.

Distribution

This species is found in Austria, France, Germany, Poland, and Switzerland.[1] It was previously listed as part of the fauna of Slovakia, but Čejka considered its occurrence in Slovakia unlikely.[4] It lives also in the Czech Republic (in Bohemia only) and in Slovakia.[3]
