Helicina rufa L. Pfeiffer, 1857 (original combination) Alcadia rufa is a species of an operculate land snail, terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Helicinidae.

(Original description in Latin) The shell has a somewhat conoidal-depressed shape.

It is moderately solid, slightly wrinkled-striated and punctuated, shiny, and reddish.

The columella descends vertically from the penultimate whorl, is slightly curved, and ends anteriorly in a tubercle, emitting a somewhat granular, circumscribed basal callus.

The peristome is shortly expanded with a white border.
