I have never heard anyone pronounce these snail names out loud, so I haven't a clue.

"Ah-Cha-Tea-Nah" is how I have been saying it? Hahahahaa. No clue if I am correct.

I would have said "Ah-Kah-Tee-Nah" judging from the latin bird names i know.

So, Archachatina would be Ark-ah-kah-tee-nah? "Fulica" is the real puzzler for me. Which syllable gets accented? First? Middle?

I say Atch-a-tina fu-leesa, but I have no idea if I'm correct. I met a naturalist who pronounced it differently, but I don't quite remember exactly how.....

I would have said "Ah-Kah-Tee-Nah" judging from the latin bird names i know. Yes, this is correct; the accent goes on 'tee'. Also, Ark-ah-kah-tee-nah as coyote says. And fulica is foo - lee - ka, with accent on 'foo'. Edit: and reticulata is re - tee - koo - lah - tah, accent on 'lah'.
