White-lipped snail

Scientific classification
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Mollusca
Class:Gastropoda
Order:Pulmonata
Suborder:Eupulmonata
Infraorder:Stylommatophora
Superfamily:Helicoidea
Family:Helicidae
Genus:Cepaea
Species:C. hortensis
Binomial name
Cepaea hortensis
(Müller, 1774)


The white-lipped snail (Cepaea hortensis) is a very close relative of the grove snail. The two species share the same habitats, although the range of the white-lipped snail extends closer to the Arctic in Northern Europe.

The white-lipped snail is very slightly smaller than the grove snail, but shares the same variation in shell colour and banding. The principal distinguishing feature is a white band at the lip of the shell, although this is not reliable for accurate identification. The two species can mate and reproduce.

Scientific classification or biological classification is a method by which biologists group and categorize species of organisms. Scientific classification also can be called scientific taxonomy, but should be distinguished from folk taxonomy, which lacks scientific basis.
