'''''Cochlicopa''''', whose species are known as '''pillar snails''', is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Cochlicopidae.<ref name="WoRMS">MolluscaBase eds. (2020). MolluscaBase. Cochlicopa A. Férussac, 1821. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=819983 on 2020-08-25</ref>
This genus is prevalent in the Northern Hemisphere across the United States, Mexico and Europe. These snails feed mostly on plant matter, detritus and fungi.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Nordsieck. |first1=Robert |title=Pillar Snails (Cochlicopidae) |url=http://www.molluscs.at/gastropoda/terrestrial.html?/gastropoda/terrestrial/cochlicopidae.html |website=www.molluscs.at |access-date=7 March 2020}}</ref>
