Hungerfordia is a genus of small land snails with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Diplommatinidae endemic to the Republic of Palau. [1] [2] [3] Many of the members of this genus inhabit limestone cliffs or rubble, especially in the Rock Islands (Chelbacheb) in Airai, Koror, and Peleliu states. [1] [4] As of 2022, there are 41 described species in this genus. [5] A series of revisions in 2013 - 2015 described several new species, as well as transferring Palauan members of the genus Diplommatina or Palaina (including Palau endemics Diplommatina alata, [6] D. aurea, [7] D. crassilabris, [8] D. gibboni, [9] D. inflatula, [10] D. lamellata, [11] D. lutea, [12] D. pyramis, [13] and D. ringens [14] ) into Hungerfordia.
