Helicina orbiculata is a species of land snail with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Helicinidae. They are one of few land snail species to have eyes at the base of their tentacles. This may suggest that Helicina orbiculata individuals are separate male and female, as opposed to the more common hermaphroditic land snails.
