Mandarina is a genus of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Bradybaenidae.[1]
Mandarina have been traditionally placed within Camaenidae.[3] 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.[3]
Distribution
The genus Mandarina is endemic to Ogasawara Islands.[3]
Description
The shell is solid.[3] The width of the shell is 15–80 mm.[3]
