Helicina rhodostoma
Helicina rhodostoma is a species of tropical land snail with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusc in the family Helicinidae.

Range & habitat
Helicina rhodostoma is endemic to the West Indian island of Dominica. Despite the fact that Helicina rhodostoma was originally erroneously described from Guadeloupe – and in subsequent reports from that island the error has been perpetuated – this species is undoubtedly a Dominican endemic. It has not been found during subsequent surveys of Guadeloupe and Marie-Galante. The fact that no museum material exists labelled “Guadeloupe”, not even in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris, indicates that the species has never been collected on that island. The synonymy of Helicina goldfussi and Helicina rhodostoma inermis is confirmed by morphometrics and anatomical studies.
