Zebrina is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Enidae.[2]

The solid shell is rimately perforated, oblong-conic or fusiformly cylindrical. The apex is horny and rather obtuse. The body whorl is shorter than the spire. The small aperture is obliquely oval. The peristome is straight, labiate within and dentate. The right margin is rather expanded. The columellar margin is reflexed and patulous.[3]
