Synonyms[1]
  • Achatina (Euaethiopina) Bequaert, 1950 (junior synonym)
  • Achatina (Lissachatina) Bequaert, 1950 (original combination)
  • Euaethiops Clench & Archer, 1930 (Invalid: not Euaethiops Hampson, 1926; Euaethiopina is a replacement name)

The molecular data clearly shows that Lissachatina consistently clusters as a monophyletic entity separate from Achatina and Fontanilla stated that there is no basis for continuing to employ Lissachatina as a subgenus of Achatina and that it should be regarded as a genus in its own right.[2]
