Mandarina is a genus of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae, subfamily Bradybaeninae. [3]
Mandarina have been traditionally placed within Camaenidae. [2] Phylogenic study by Chiba (1999) [4] have found, that Mandarina is closely related to Euhadra (family Bradybaenidae) and that Mandarina have probably evolved from Euhadra. [2]
Distribution
The genus Mandarina is endemic to Ogasawara Islands. [2]
Description
The shell is solid. [2] The width of the shell is 15–80 mm. [2]

Species within the genus Mandarina include:
- Mandarina anijimana [2]
