Phuphania globosa is a species of air-breathing land snail in the family Dyakiidae.[2] The species is bioluminescent as with other members of its genus.[3]
The generic name Phuphania derives from the Phu Phan Mountains, where the snails come from. While the specific name globosa is a Latin word which means "spherical" or "globose".[1]
