Distribution
Zonitoides jaccetanicus is endemic to Montserrat mountain near Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.[2] It is a rare species, possibly endemic to Catalonia.[2] The species has declined due to construction activities in the growing city of Barcelona.[2]

The shell is evenly horny-brownish, fragile and transparent, finely striated on the upper side, and early smooth on the lower side.[2] The shell has 5 weakly convex whorls with pronounced suture.[2] The upper side is flattened.[2] The lower side is convex.[2] The last whorl is not much wider than the penultimate whorl.[2] The aperture is oblique. The apertural margin is straight.[2] The umbilicus is relatively narrow.[2]
