The territory of Cameroon is particularly rich concerning the presence of Achatinidae species. Nevertheless, it is very difficult to obtain endemic species from this area. A careful survey identified 11 species of Achatinidae from Cameroon: Achatina oblitterata Dautzenberg, 1891; A. achatina Linnaeus, 1758: A. balteata Reeve, 1849; A. camerunensis d'Ailly, 1896; A. iostoma Pfeiffer, 1852; A. marginata Swainson, 1821 and its varieties; A. papyracea Pfeiffer, 1845; A. rugosa putzeys, 1898; A. subsuturalis Pilsbry, 1904; A. siderata Reeve, 1849; A. knorri Jonas, 1839. There are also numerous species and varieties of the genus Pseudoachatina Albers, 1850.
