Spiralix heisenbergi is a species of minute freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusc or micromollusc in the family Moitessieriidae. [1]
Spiralix heisenbergi is a stygobiotic species endemic to Castellón Province in Spain, where it is only known from Fuente de los Ignacios near Argelita.[2]
This species is named after Walter White (pseudonym Heisenberg), the main character of American television series Breaking Bad. It is thought to be in danger due to its restricted habitat.[3]
