Priotrochatella

Genus of gastropods From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Priotrochatella is a genus of land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Helicinidae. Priotroachatella occur on calcareous rocks and in caves in the same rocks on Cuban islands - they are critically endangered because of the exploitation of the marble quarries that form their habitat.[2]
