Vespericolini

Vespericolini, or hesperians, are a tribe of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Polygyridae.

[3][4] The shells of these small to medium, globose or depressed globose snails are usually some shade of brown, sometimes without apertural teeth and sometimes with a single tooth on the parietal wall.

Small periostracal hairs may be observed on the shell surface of many specimens, but the shells otherwise resemble those of Praticolella or Mesodon.

[3] The two genera, Vespericola and Hochbergellus, cannot be distinguished based on shell anatomy.

They can only be distinguished by examining internal organs, such as the reproductive system.
