This book explores the diversity and distribution of Papaina group species of the largely Southeast Asian and Australasian snail genus Helix, a group of colorful, relatively small land snails that are notable for their distinctive coloration and shell shape. The taxonomy, distribution, and affinities of the various species and groups within Papaina are discussed, including their comparative morphology, anatomy, and ecology. The author describes the species, using shell characteristics, measurements, and distribution information, as well as presenting new illustrations showing the shells of many of the species.
