Helicina is a genus of tropical and subtropical land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks.

Contents

This is the type genus of its family (Helicinidae) and subfamily (Helicinae), as well as the superfamily Helicinoidea. This radiation is considered a fairly close relative e.g. of the water-living nerites (Neritidae), among the rather primitive snail clade Neritimorpha to which these all belong. [2]

Selected species

Species within the genus Helicina include:

From Central America:

From Costa Rica: [3]

From Brazil: [4]

From the Lesser Antilles: [5]

From the USA:

From Cuba:
