Causa is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Helicidae. [1]
Species within the genus Causa include:
Cornu aspersum, known by the common name garden snail, is a species of land snail in the family Helicidae, which includes some of the most familiar land snails. Of all terrestrial molluscs, this species may well be the most widely known. It was classified under the name Helix aspersa for over two centuries, but the prevailing classification now places it in the genus Cornu.
