'''''Vitrina''''' is [genus](/source/genus) of small air-breathing [land snail](/source/land_snail)s, [terrestrial](/source/terrestrial_molluscs) [pulmonate](/source/pulmonate) [gastropod](/source/gastropod) [mollusk](/source/mollusk)s in the family [Vitrinidae](/source/Vitrinidae), the glass snails.[MolluscaBase eds. (2023). MolluscaBase. Vitrina Draparnaud, 1801. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=875675 on 2023-06-15]
==Description==
The shell is globular. There is no apertural membrane. The mantle lobe is very small. There is no penial appendix, no vagina, which means that penis, oviduct and spermatheca duct join at a common point.[[http://www.animalbase.uni-goettingen.de/zooweb/servlet/AnimalBase/home/genus?id=637 AnimalBase: Vitrina]]
These are closely allied species, in which the internal organization is in many cases more distinctive than the external aspect of the shell.[[https://archive.org/stream/monographoflandf1521tayl/monographoflandf1521tayl_djvu.txt Monograph of theland and freshwater Mollusca of the British Isles; Part XII. pp. 1—16, published June 15, 1906.]]
