Papuina
Translingual
editEtymology
editPossibly from English Papua (“Indo-Pacific island”) + -ina f (“-ine”). This theory is based upon the possibility of the snails being found near or around Papua. This is supported by the species name translingual Papuina papuensis (literally “Papuan papuina”) (formerly Helix papuensis).
Proper noun
editPapuina f
- A taxonomic genus within the family Camaenidae – certain marine snails.
