Anguispira, the tigersnails, is a genus of small pulmonate land snails in the family Discidae endemic to North America.[2] Snails in this genus are defined by their striped shells. Anguispira species are either habitat generalists like A. alternata or limestone specialists like A. cumberlandiana. [3]
