Critically Endangered
Greater Bermuda land snail
Poecilozonites bermudensis
Greater Bermuda land snail is a land snail in the family Gastrodontidae (order Stylommatophora) — Poecilozonites bermudensis, recorded as Critically Endangered and tied to United Kingdom, Bermuda, and Bahamas.
The land snail
These are the familiar land snails and slugs: air-breathing gastropods with a lung, not a gill.
Gastropods are snails and slugs. The animal is the soft body; the shell, when present, is grown, not worn like a stone.
Range and habitat
Greater Bermuda land snail is recorded from United Kingdom, Bermuda, Bahamas, France, and United States.
GBIF currently lists 1,185 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Diet
Snails move on a single foot and feed with a rasping tongue. Island and spring species rarely recolonise once the site is emptied.
