Zachrysia trinitaria is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae[clarification needed] or Pleurodontidae.[1]

Distribution

This species is already established in the USA, and is considered to represent a potentially serious threat as a pest, an invasive species which could negatively affect agriculture, natural ecosystems, human health or commerce. Therefore it has been suggested that this species be given top national quarantine significance in the USA.[1]
