Drymaeus eurystomus is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Bulimulidae.

Fulton (1905) [3] was the first to realize that Bulimus eurystomus Philippi, 1867 and Bulimus hamadryas Philippi, 1867 are synonyms and only differ in colour pattern. [2]
