Montserratina is a genus of land snails in the family Canariellidae.[1][2]
The snails are hairy and are endemic to north-eastern mountains in Spain.[3] They are named after Montserrat mountain in Catalonia, Spain, one home of the snails. Their population is not known but is not considered to be at levels of endangerment.[3] The habitats of these snails are in nature reserves within mountain ranges.[4][failed verification] The biggest threat to the snails is fire, which can burn down their habitats.
