Land snails vary between 1 mm and 20 cm in terms of the largest diameter of their shells. However, they very rarely reach shell diameters smaller than 1 mm. An international team, led by Dr. Barna Pall-Gergely, Shinshu University, Japan, described seven new land snail species from southern China, including two, which are probably the smallest land snails ever reported. Their findings were published in the open-access journal ZooKeys.
