Magician Tree Snail

Drymaeus magus

Classification

Drymaeus magus, commonly known as the magician snail, is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Bulimulidae found in regions of southeastern Brazil. For nearly two centuries, this species was rarely revisited in scientific literature and was mysteriously absent from scientific collections, often being confused with other members of the genus Drymaeus. Recent studies have revealed that, although it has been poorly documented in the literature, the species is more common than previously thought.
