More polymita snails!! 😍 #yumuri #polymita #baracoacuba (at Boca De Yumurí, Guantánamo, Cuba) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3HManBhkhX/?igshid=lxtmt7moq9eg
Among the roughly 1,400 species of land snails found in Cuba, those from the genus Polymita—that’s Latin for “many stripes”—are unique to the island nation. These tiny gastropods are quite aptly known as painted snails because of the variety of vibrant colors of their shells.
A dazzling array of painted snail specimens can be seen in the special exhibition ¡Cuba!, including Polymita picta, P. sulphurosa, P. versicolor, P. venusta, P. brochuri, and P. muscarum, all from the Museum’s collection.

These beautiful Polymita land snails, known as painted snails for their colorful shells, are found only in eastern Cuba, including throughout Alejandro de Humboldt National Park. The park, which stretches from the mountains to the sea, is among the most biologically diverse island sites on the planet. Cuba is home to at least 1,400 land snail species, more than 90 percent of which are found only here. ©AMNH/R. Mickens
Cuban Land Snails Polymita picta
Polymita picta, common name the Cuban land snail or the painted snail, is a species of large, air-breathing land snail. Shells of Polymita picta can reach a length of about 20 millimeters (0.79 in). These large shells are shiny and very brightly colored. Normally they show a bright yellow color with a white stripe, but the species is well known for its colorful shell polymorphism, with numerous color varieties. These shells are sought after by poachers and used to make jewelry and trinkets. As a result, the species has become endangered.
