Trochulus lubomirskii is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Hygromiidae, the hairy snails and their allies.

Taxonomy

Schileyko (1978)[3] placed this species into the genus Plicuteria Schileyko, 1978, that was lately as a subgenus. Based on molecular analyses, this may not belong to the genus Trochulus at all.[4]
