Placostylus fibratus is a species of large air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Bothriembryontidae. This species is endemic to New Caledonia.
Known locally as bulime, the snails are considered a highly prized delicacy on Ile des Pins and are locally farmed to ensure supply.[2]
