Eobania constantina is a species of terrestrial land snail in the family Helicidae, native to northern Algeria and other parts of North Africa. It occurs primarily in Mediterranean environments, ranging from humid coastal regions to more semi-arid inland areas, and inhabits a variety of habitats, from remote mountainous regions to urban areas. As a member of Helicidae, it possesses a coiled shell and hermaphroditic reproductive system, with both shell morphology and genital anatomy playing important roles in its classification.
