Helicini is a tribe of terrestrial gastropods in the family Helicidae. It contains mostly large land snail species, diversified in particular in the Balkans, Anatolia, and the Caucasus. [2] [3]

The tribe as currently accepted was delimited with molecular phylogenetic analyses. [4] [5] The previously used concept was much broader and included what now constitutes the subfamily Helicinae, but without Theba . [6] In its present sense, the tribe constitutes the eastern clade of Helicinae, in contrast to the primarily North African Otalini and Allognathini from the western Europe and Macaronesia. [2] There is no known synapomorphy.
