Streptaxis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Streptaxidae.

[2][3] The oval shell has a heliciform shape, but is often oblique.

It is profoundly umbilicated, ridged, striate above, smooth and usually polished below.

The labial palpi are narrow, as long as the inferior tentacles.

The radula is similar to that of Glandina; the central tooth is simple.
