Helicopsis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae. [2] [3] [4]
Distribution of the genus Helicopsis range Central and Eastern Europe to Iran. [2]
The species composition of Helicopsis was largely reviewed after revisions with methods of molecular taxonomy, many of the previously recognized species were shown to be conspecific and many other to be not related with true Helicopsis. [5] [2] After these revisions only 9 or 10 species can be placed into Helicopsis: [5] [2]
