''Pollicaria'', commonly known as the elephant pupinid snails, is a genus of land snails with a gill and an operculum. They are in the family Pupinidae, superfamily Cyclophoroidea. This genus of land snails is endemic to Indochina. Like other pupinid snails, the shells of these snails are shaped like insect pupae. The shells are however characteristically large, up to , in contrast to other pupinids, many of which are considerably smaller. The soft parts of species in this genus are yellowish to pale orange in color, and their shells can range in color from black or yellowish to bright orange. These snails feed on decaying organic matter on forest floors. ==Taxonomy== ''Pollicaria'' belongs to the family Pupinidae of the superfamily Cyclophoroidea. The genus was first established by the American malacologist Augustus Addison Gould in 1856, to contain his newly described ''Cyclostoma pollex'' (now accepted as ''Pollicaria gravida'').
