Classification

Scientific Name: Vertigo bollesiana
Common Name: Delicate Vertigo
Etymology: Vertigo comes from the Latin word vertō which means whirling or spinning. I'm not positive on how this species received its common name but it is described as being more transparent and delicate in color than its closest relative Vertigo gouldi and maybe that's how the name stuck.
