The new species, Vallonia yakutica sp. nov. is described from the central part of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The population lives on the edge of the forest of larch (Lárix sibírica ldb.), and birch (Betula pendula Roth.) trees, with various herbs. The presence of herbs is necessary for the habitat of Vallonia yakutica sp. nov. which feeds on their fallen leaves. The maturity of the snail is achieved in two years. The differences between the new species from the morphologically most close Vallonia kamtschatica Likharev, 1963 are discussed.
