Everettia is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Dyakiidae.

The species within this genus are very difficult to identify from shells only, because the shells are all very similar.[2]

Species

[edit]

The genus Everettia included 15 species in 2007[3][4] but there was described additional 11 species of Everettia in northern Borneo in 2009:[2]
