Everettia is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Dyakiidae.

The species within this genus are very difficult to identify from shells only, because the shells are all very similar. [2]

Species

The genus Everettia included 15 species in 2007 [3] [4] but there was described additional 11 species of Everettia in northern Borneo in 2009: [2]

Diplommatina is a genus of land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Diplommatinidae.

<i>Georissa</i> Genus of gastropods

Georissa is a genus of minute land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Hydrocenidae. Although the species are best known for living on the surface of limestone rocks, they are often also found in and on the vegetation and on non-calcareous rocks. One species, Georissa filiasaulae, is cavernicolous. It is only known from two caves in the Sepulut area of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, where its above-ground sister species, Georissa saulae, inhabits the rocks outside of the cave, and is connected to the cave snail via narrow zones of hybridization at the cave entrances. Possibly, G. filiasaulae has evolved without ever having been fully separated from its ancestor, a process known as speciation-with-gene-flow.

<i>Acmella nana</i> Species of gastropod

Acmella nana is a species of land snail discovered from Borneo, Malaysia, in 2015. It was described by Jaap J.

It was named nana due to its minute size. Measuring only 0.7 millimeters in size, it is the smallest known land snail as of 2015. It surpasses the earlier record attributed to Angustopila dominikae, which is 0.86 mm in size, described from China in September 2015.
