Eobania

Eobania is a genus of air-breathing land snails belonging to the family Helicidae. These snails are terrestrial pulmonate gastropods. The genus is primarily found in the Mediterranean region.

Eobania snails are characterized by their medium to large size and globular or depressed-globular shells. The shell is typically a whitish or pale yellowish color, often with brown bands or markings. The shell surface can be smooth or slightly ribbed.

The diet of Eobania snails consists mainly of vegetation. They are herbivorous and feed on a variety of plant matter, including leaves, fruits, and vegetables.

These snails are active during periods of moisture, often emerging after rain. They play a role in the ecosystem as decomposers and as a food source for various animals.

Several species are classified under the genus Eobania. Identification of specific species often relies on subtle differences in shell morphology and anatomical features.
