Allogona profunda, commonly known as the broad-banded forestsnail, is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Polygyridae.[2][3]
The broad-banded forestsnail is roughly 15 millimeters in height, and about twice as wide. Its shell is helix-shaped. Its body is gray, usually a lighter shade, and many specimens have a red stripe on their shells.[1]
