Zebrina is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Enidae. [2]
The solid shell is rimately perforated, oblong-conic or fusiformly cylindrical. The apex is horny and rather obtuse. The body whorl is shorter than the spire. The small aperture is obliquely oval. The peristome is straight, labiate within and dentate. The right margin is rather expanded. The columellar margin is reflexed and patulous. [3]
Species in the genus Zebrina include:
Omphalotropis is a genus of minute salt marsh snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Omphalotropidinae of the family Assimineidae.
Rachis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Cerastidae.
Ryssota is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Chronidae.
Subulina is a genus of small tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Achatinidae.
Tropidophora is a genus of land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Pomatiidae.
Truncatella is a genus of very small land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Truncatellidae. These small and minute snails live on land, very close to seawater. They walk with a strange looping action, and the adults have truncated shells. Many of the species are small enough to be considered micromollusks.
Cyclophorus is a genus of operculate land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Cyclophoridae.
Rhachistia is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Cerastidae.
Macrochlamys is a large genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Ariophantidae.
Streptaxis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Streptaxidae.
Acusta is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Bradybaeninae of the family Camaenidae.
Thaumastus is a genus of tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Megaspiridae.
Trachia is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Camaenidae.
Plectotropis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Camaenidae.
Xesta is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Ariophantinae of the family Ariophantidae.
Pterocyclos is a genus of tropical land snails in the subfamily Cyclophorinae of the family Cyclophoridae.
Oospira is a genus of terrestrial gastropods belonging to the subfamily Phaedusinae of the family Clausiliidae.
Leucomastus is a genus of gastropods belonging to the family Enidae.
Sarika is a large genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Macrochlamydinae of the family Ariophantidae.
