Auriculastra is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Ellobiidae, the salt marsh snails. [1]
Species in the genus Auriculastra include:
Succinea, common name the amber snails, is a large genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Succineidae.
Assiminea is a genus of minute, salt-tolerant snails with an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks, or micromollusks, in the family Assimineidae.
Omphalotropis is a genus of minute salt marsh snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Omphalotropidinae of the family Assimineidae.
Rachis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Cerastidae.
Subulina is a genus of small tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Achatinidae.
Tropidophora is a genus of land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Pomatiidae.
Truncatella is a genus of very small land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Truncatellidae. These small and minute snails live on land, very close to seawater. They walk with a strange looping action, and the adults have truncated shells. Many of the species are small enough to be considered micromollusks.
Videna is a genus of terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Trochomorphidae.
Laemodonta is a genus of small air-breathing, saltmarsh snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Ellobiidae.
Cyclophorus is a genus of operculate land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Cyclophoridae.
Melampus is a genus of small air-breathing salt marsh snails, pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Ellobiidae.
Leptopoma is a genus of land snails with a gill and an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Cyclophoridae.
Streptaxis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Streptaxidae.
Cyclotus is a genus of tropical land snails in the subfamily Cyclophorinae of the family Cyclophoridae.
Euplecta is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Ariophantidae.
Plectotropis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Camaenidae.
Xesta is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Ariophantinae of the family Ariophantidae.
Pterocyclos is a genus of tropical land snails in the subfamily Cyclophorinae of the family Cyclophoridae.
Pleuropoma is a genus of land snails with an operculum. It is a genus of terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicininae of the family Helicinidae.
