Helicrenion reticulatum
Helicrenion reticulatum is a dawhilahila.
The gastropod
It was first described by Anders Herman Warén ug Philippe Bouchet in 1993.
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
Helicrenion reticulatum is recorded from Fiji and Papua New Guinea.
GBIF currently lists 6 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.
