Praticolella is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Polygyridae.
This genus comprises about 15[ citation needed ] species of small snails with semi-globose shells.
The shells of these snails often have contrasting color bands, and are usually without apertural teeth, although a tooth may sometimes occur on the parietal wall of the aperture.
Snails in this genus are distinguished from other polygyrid snails on the basis of their internal anatomy.
Species of Praticolella may be found from Nicaragua and eastern Mexico, into the southeastern United States, from Texas to North Carolina. [1]
