Glyptemoda is a genus of land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Helicinidae.[2][3] It is endemic to Cuba.[3][4] The genus is monotypic, the only species being Glyptemoda torrei (Henderson, 1909).[2][3] However, two subspecies are recognized:[3][4]
- Glyptemoda torrei freirei (Clench & Aguayo, 1950)
- Glyptemoda torrei torrei (J. B. Henderson, 1909)
Glyptemoda torrei torrei can reach almost 30 mm (1.2 in) in size, whereas Glyptemoda torrei freirei is smaller.[4]
