'''''Chloritis''''' is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Hadrinae of the family Camaenidae.<ref name="WoRMS">MolluscaBase (2018). Chloritis H. Beck, 1837. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=818723 on 2018-12-25</ref>

The genus ''Chloritis'' is restricted to South-east Asia (from China to India and up to New Guinea) with numerous species having usually small distributional ranges.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/>

== Shell description == The conchological characters of the species belonging to the genus ''Chloritis'' are the more or less compact shells, the biconcave or a hardly elevated spire.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/> The first whorls are quite narrow, rounded, the apical ones with regularly arranged granules or hair pits.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/> Last whorl is widened suddenly, with a more or less open umbilicus.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/> The aperture is lunate. The peristome is reflected, connected in most cases by a thin callus.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/>

==Species== Some researchers divided the genus ''Chloritis'' in a number of rather poorly defined subgenera, or even consider these subgenera as genera.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/> The characters used for these separations are only shell features; unfortunately from only a few species the anatomy is known.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/> Here the more conservative systematic classification (only one genus ''Chloritis'') is followed as proposed by Vaught (1989).<ref name="Maassen 2009"/><ref>Vaught K. C. (1989). ''A classification of the living Mollusca: i-xii, 1-195.'' American Malacologists, Inc., Melbourne, Florida, United States.</ref>
