Helicidae
Helicidae is a large, diverse family of western Palaearctic, medium to large-sized, air-breathing land snails, sometimes called the "typical snails." It includes some of the largest European land snails, several species are common in anthropogenic habitats, and some became invasive on other continents. A number of species in this family are valued as food items, including '' Cornu aspersum'' (formerly ''Helix aspersa;'' "petit gris") the brown or garden snail, and '' Helix pomatia'' (the " escargot"). The biologies of these two species in particular have been thoroughly studied and documented. Shell description The shells are usually flattened or depressed conical. Globular shells are found in the genera '' Helix'', '' Maltzanella'', '' Lindholmia'', '' Cornu'', '' Cantareus'', '' Eremina'', and '' Idiomella''. One species, '' Cylindrus obtusus'', has a cylindrical shell. In some genera, especially in '' Cepaea'', the shells are brightly colored and patterned. Anatomy Hel ...

Carl Jonas Pfeiffer
Carl Jonas Pfeiffer (7 February 1779 – 3 May 1836) was a German merchant, banker, and amateur malacologist. Early life and business ventures Pfeiffer, called Jonas as a child, was born in the Oberneustadt parsonage on Karlsplatz in Cassel, where his father, Johann Jakob Pfeiffer, was the preacher. Shortly after his birth, the family relocated to Marburg, where his father accepted a position as a professor in the Department of Theology at the university there. His mother died before he was 5 years old, but his father's second wife cared for all of their children, especially after Johann Jakob's early death in 1791. Pfeiffer attended the gymnasium of Marburg until the age of 14, at which point he relocated to Cassel to apprentice as a cloth merchant. At the completion of his apprenticeship, he spent time as a traveling salesman in Frankfurt am Main, but soon found himself back in Marburg, where, despite not attending the University, as had his father and brothers, he spe ...

Caucasotachea Vindobonensis
''Caucasotachea vindobonensis'' is a large species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial molluscs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod in the family Helicidae. The scientific name is derived from the Celtic settlement Vindobona, now known as Vienna, the capital of Austria. This species was formerly assigned to the genus ''Cepaea''. However, DNA sequences revealed that this species is not closely related to ''Cepaea'', but belongs instead to the genus ''Caucasotachea''. Description The right-hand coiled, globular shell of ''C. vindobonensis'' is 17–21 mm high and 20–25 mm broad with 5.5–6 whorls. In adults, the Gastropod_shell#Parts_of_the_shell, umbilicus is completely covered. The Gastropod_shell#Parts_of_the_shell, lip is brown at its inner end becoming pale towards the Gastropod_shell#Parts_of_the_shell, suture; this distinguishes it from the conchological similar ''Cepaea hortensis'' (usually pure white lip) and ''Cepaea nemoralis'' (usually a dark brown li ...
