Pulcharopa is a monotypic genus of pinwheel snails that is endemic to Australia's Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. [1]
The only species is P. plesa, also known as the fiery-bangled pinwheel snail.
The ear-shaped shell of mature snails is 1.9–2.5 mm in height, with a diameter of 3.5–4.2 mm, discoidal with a very low spire, widely spaced ribs and impressed sutures. It is orange-brown with zigzag, cream-coloured flammulations (flame-like markings). The umbilicus is moderately wide. The aperture is ovately lunate. The animal is unknown as it has never been collected alive.[2]
The snail is known only from the lowlands of the northern part of the island.[2]
