Drymaeus nigrogularis

Classification

Drymaeus ribeiroi is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Bulimulidae. Taxonomy and etymology Drymaeus ribeiroi was first described in 1915 by the German-Brazilian naturalist Hermann von Ihering. The description was based on a single empty shell collected in Salto Alegre, a small village on the banks of the Jauru River in southwestern Mato Grosso, Brazil, by an expedition carried out by the Rondon Commission.
