Killickia

Killickia is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Cerastidae. These snails are primarily found in Madagascar. Characterized by their conical or ovate-conical shells, Killickia species typically inhabit leaf litter and humid environments within forests and other vegetated areas. Their diet primarily consists of decaying organic matter. Relatively little is known about the specific life cycles and behavioral patterns of most Killickia species, and further research is needed to fully understand their ecological roles and conservation status. The genus is defined by its specific shell morphology and anatomical features, differentiating it from other related snail genera within the Cerastidae family.
