Helicostoa sinensis is a species of freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the clade Littorinimorpha.[3]
Helicostoa sinensis is the only species in the genus Helicostoa, which in turn is the only genus in the family Helicostoidae.[4] According to taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Helicostoidae has no subfamilies.
Helicostoa sinensis is tentatively placed within superfamily Rissooidea.[3] Previously it was in the superfamily Vermetoidea.[3]
Helicostoa sinensis is only found in China,[4] more specifically in the Yangtze River.[3]
This freshwater snail lives attached or bonded to blocks of limestone.[4]
