Brasilennea

Brasilennea is a fossil genus of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the family Cerionidae. The genus is known only from the Brazilian Paleocene ItaboraĆ­ Basin, in Rio de Janeiro. The most characteristic feature of the genus is its two spiral furrows on the body whorl.

The name Brasilennea implies that it is a Brazilian genus that is very similar to the African genus Ennea. The genus was originally classified in the family Streptaxidae, but it was later transferred to the family Cerionidae.
