Bostryx is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Bulimulidae.Breure A. S. H. & Romero P. (2012).

Bostryx sensu stricto is the type genus of the subfamily Bostrycinae, but some species of Bostryx sensu lato are placed within Bulimulinae. There is need further research to elucidate which subgenera belong to which subfamily.
Distribution There are 29 species from the genus Bostryx in Chile(created 27 December 2008) "Chilean Orthalicidae" . 12 pp. accessed 27 December 2010. and numerous species in other countries.
Ecology They live under stones and on cacti.
Bostryx feeds on lichens.
