Radiodiscus iheringi is a species of small air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Charopidae.

This species was discovered and described by César Marie Félix Ancey as Stephanoda iheringi in 1899. ^[2]

Fonseca and Thomé (1995) ^[3] recombined it to Radiodiscus iheringi (Ancey, 1899) ^[3] while they accidentally synonymized it with a newly created name Radiodiscus bolachaensis. ^[3]

Saldago and Coelho (2003) ^[4] clarified the situation: Endodonta iheringi Thiele, 1927 is a synonym for Radiodiscus bolachaensis Fonseca & Thomé, 1995. ^[4]

Distribution

This species is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. ^[1]

The type locality is Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. ^[2]
