Drymaeus tripictus is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Bulimulidae.

[3] The reproductive system of D. tripictus, and Drymaeus costarricenses are similar, suggesting these species are closely related.

D. tripictus likely feed on algae and cyanobacteria present on moss or lichen.

[3] As all other members of this family, D. tripictus has an hermaphrodite reproductive system, meaning one specimen has both male and female genitalia.

Finally the male acting individual turns its head, allowing contact between the gonopores, but the phallus is not everted.
