Kora is a genus of tropical air-breathing land snails, a pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Bulimulidae. [2] [3]
The generic name Kora is a contraction of a Latin word Corona, that means "crown", because the aperture resemble the crown. [1] The first letter is changed from C to K, because the generic name Cora is preoccupied as a genus of damselflies. [1]
The genus was described with one species Kora corallina classified in the family Orthalicidae in 2012. [1] Later there were added three newly described species to the genus Kora in 2015. [4] There was added another new species to the genus Kora in 2016, while two species were moved to the genus Drymaeus , resulting in three species currently classified within the genus Kora. [2] Kora was also moved from family Orthalicidae to Bulimulidae in 2016. [2]
Species within the genus Kora include:
