Helicinae is a subfamily of terrestrial gastropods in the family Helicidae. It contains mostly large land snail species, distributed in the western Palaearctic. The most recent (as of 2023) classification proposed division into three tribes.[2][3]
The subfamily contains the largest helicids, and includes widely known, widespread species like the garden snail, grove snail, white garden snail, chocolate-band snail or the Roman snail.[citation needed]
