A genus of small tropical land snails with spiral shells, also relating to certain species with helicine characteristics.
From 'helix' (spiral) with the feminine Latin suffix '-ina,' used in taxonomy to create genus or species names for organisms with characteristic features.
Helicina snails are tiny—some species are smaller than a grain of rice—but they've survived unchanged in tropical rainforests for millions of years, making them living fossils of gastropod evolution!
