Allodiscus is a genus of land snails belonging to the family Charopidae.[1] The genus was described by Henry Augustus Pilsbry in 1892.[2]

Taxonomy

Pilsbry in 1892 originally described Allodiscus as a subgenus of Helix, naming H. dimorpha (Allodiscus dimorphus) as the type species.[2] A revision of the genus in 2008 saw the addition of 31 new species.[3]

Distribution

The genus is found in New Zealand, the New Zealand Subantarctic Islands and on New Caledonia.[1]
