Ponentina is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae. [1] [2] the hairy snails and their allies.
Species within this genus include:
Helicidae is a large, diverse family of western Palaearctic, medium to large-sized, air-breathing land snails, sometimes called the "typical snails." It includes some of the largest European land snails, several species are common in anthropogenic habitats, and some became invasive on other continents. A number of species in this family are valued as food items, including Cornu aspersum the brown or garden snail, and Helix pomatia. The biologies of these two species in particular have been thoroughly studied and documented.
Canariella is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Canariellidae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Candidula is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae, . the hairy snails and their allies.
Xerotricha bierzona is a species of air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Helicella is a genus of small to medium-sized, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Platyla is a genus of very small land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Aciculidae.
Pyrenaearia is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the subfamily Leptaxinae of the family Hygromiidae, the harry snails and their allies.
Theba is a taxonomic genus of air-breathing land snails, medium-sized pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Helicidae, the true snails.
Hygromiidae is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.
Monacha is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Trochulininae Lindholm, 1927 of the family Hygromiidae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Xerotricha is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae.
Xeroplexa is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Geomitridae is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.
Xeroplexa setubalensis is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae.
Xeroplexa arrabidensis is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae.
Xeroplexa scabiosula is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae.
Xeroplexa strucki is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae. Although named by Maltzan (1886), no differences from X. olisippensis were indicated and Gittenberger therefore treated them as synonyms. However, the present study has revealed that the W. Algarve populations named as strucki and similar snails from the coast of W. Baixo Alentejo differ consistently in having a much shorter penial flagellum.
