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

[2] Robert John Lechmere Guppy (1868)[3] described two taxa from Dominica based on shell variation within this species; both names were preoccupied.

[2] William Harper Pease (1871)[1] provided a substitute name in his treatment of Indo-Pacific species.

[2] This species was placed in the subgenus Striatemoda by Horace Burrington Baker (1940)[4] based on Guppy’s (1868) comparison with the Puerto Rican Alcadia subfusca (Menke, 1828), and also on Pilsbry’s (1892)[5] erroneous placement of this species with the Hispaniolan Alcadia rufa (L. Pfeiffer, 1857).
