Eostrobilops hirasei is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Strobilopsidae.

The specific name is apparently in honor either of the Japanese malacologist Yoichiro Hirase (1859–1925) or of his son Shintaro Hirase (1884–1939).[clarification needed]

Eostrobilops hirasei was discovered and described under the name Strobilops hirasei by the American malacologist Henry Augustus Pilsbry in 1908.[1] The type specimens are stored in the Academy of Natural Sciences (number 95251) and in Hirase's collection (number 1538).[1][a]

The species was moved into the newly created genus Eostrobilops by Henry Augustus Pilsbry in 1927; Eostrobilops hirasei is the type species of the genus Eostrobilops.[3]

Distribution

The type locality is Jeju Island, in South Korea.[1]
