Phuphania globosa is a species of air-breathing land snail in the family Dyakiidae.[2] The species is bioluminescent as with other members of its genus.[3]

The generic name Phuphania derives from the Phu Phan Mountains, where the snails come from. While the specific name globosa is a Latin word which means "spherical" or "globose".[1]

Distribution

This snail is native to the Phu Phan Mountains in northeastern Thailand.[1]

Shell description

The shell is dextral, and it has 5¾ whorls. The height of the shell is 34.08 mm. The width of the shell is 28.70 mm.

Bioluminescence

This species continuously emits a green glow due to light-emitting cells found all over the entire mantle and foot.[3]
