Shell description

Pilsbry (1940) [3] characterized the shell of Xolotrema (which he considered to be a subgenus) thus:

"Triodopses, in which the inner margin of the basal lip has a long bladelike lamella, terminating at a notch where it joins the outer arc of the lip; the embryonic whorls are covered with close retractive radial striae (subobsolete in T. fosteri)."

Allognathus is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Helicidae, the true snails. The genus is endemic to the Balearic Islands being present in all major islands and in several small islets. The genus colonized the archipelago from the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Miocene, throughout a land-bridge connection. The different species belonging to Allognathus live in crevice rocks or under stones.
