Mandarina is a genus of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae, subfamily Bradybaeninae.[3]
Mandarina have been traditionally placed within Camaenidae.[2] Phylogenic study by Chiba (1999)[4] have found, that Mandarina is closely related to Euhadra (family Bradybaenidae) and that Mandarina have probably evolved from Euhadra.[2]
Distribution
[edit]The genus Mandarina is endemic to Ogasawara Islands.[2]
Description
[edit]The shell is solid.[2] The width of the shell is 15–80 mm.[2]
