Leamatellina

Leamatellina is a genus of small, herbivorous land snails belonging to the family Camaenidae. These snails are native to Australia. They are characterized by their generally rounded shells, which can vary in color and pattern depending on the species. The shell aperture is typically somewhat elongated and may have a slight thickening.

Species within the Leamatellina genus are found in a range of Australian habitats, including woodlands, forests, and sometimes more arid scrublands, often sheltering under rocks, logs, or leaf litter. Their diet consists of decaying plant matter and algae. Reproduction in Leamatellina, as with other terrestrial gastropods, involves the laying of eggs.

The taxonomy of Leamatellina has seen some revisions, with certain species previously assigned to this genus being reclassified. Research into the distribution, ecology, and genetics of these snails continues to refine our understanding of their place within the Camaenidae family and the broader Australian malacofauna.
