Gastrocopta is a genus of minute air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Gastrocoptidae.^[3]

Gastrocopta is the type genus of the subfamily Gastrocoptinae.^[4] The height of the shell is about 2 mm.^[1]

Distribution

The Recent distribution of Gastrocopta includes North America, eastern Asia, central Asia^[1] and South America (Brazil^[5] and Venezuela).

In Europe, the genus Gastrocopta has been extirpated; its fossils there are known mainly from the Neogene, but its fossil range in Europe is from the Oligocene to the Lower Pleistocene.^[1][6]
