Genus of gastropods
Hungerfordia is a genus of small land snails with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Diplommatinidae endemic to the Republic of Palau.[1][2][3] Many of the members of this genus inhabit limestone cliffs or rubble, especially in the Rock Islands (Chelbacheb) in Airai, Koror, and Peleliu states.[1][4] As of 2022, there are 41 described species in this genus.[5] A series of revisions in 2013 - 2015 described several new species, as well as transferring Palauan members of the genus Diplommatina or Palaina (including Palau endemics Diplommatina alata,[6] D. aurea,[7] D. crassilabris,[8] D. gibboni,[9] D. inflatula,[10] D. lamellata,[11] D. lutea,[12] D. pyramis,[13] and D. ringens[14]) into Hungerfordia.[1][2][3]
