Aaadonta constricta is a species of land snail, [2] [3] a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Endodontidae. It is endemic to Palau, [4] where it is known from the islands of Babeldaob, Ngemelis, Peleliu and Koror. It may be extirpated from Koror. It is threatened by habitat destruction and modification.
In 1976, Solem described two subspecies of Aaadonta constricta:
Aaadonta angaurana is a small air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Endodontidae.
Aaadonta is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Endodontidae. Specimens from this genus are endemic to Palau.
Aaadonta fuscozonata is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Endodontidae. This species is endemic to Palau, where it is known from Koror and Peleliu, and the small islands of Ngemelis and the northern Rock Islands. This snail inhabits tropical moist lowland forest, and is threatened by the destruction and modification of its habitat.
Aaadonta irregularis is a species of snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Endodontidae. It is endemic to Palau, where it was only known from Peleliu, but has only been found recently on the very small island of Omekang. It is threatened by the destruction and modification of its tropical moist lowland forest habitat.
Aaadonta kinlochi is a species of snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Endodontidae. It is endemic to Palau, where it was known from Angaur and Ulong Island. If it is still extant, it is threatened by the destruction and modification of its tropical moist lowland forest habitat.
Aaadonta pelewana is a species of snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Endodontidae. It is found in Palau, where it was known from Peleliu and Koror. If it is still extant, it is threatened by the destruction and modification of its tropical moist lowland forest habitat.
Cookeconcha is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Endodontidae.
Opanara is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Endodontidae.
Palikirus is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Charopidae.
Trukcharopa is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Charopidae. The only description of this genus and its sole representative species, Trukcharopa trukana, comes from Alan Solem in 1982.
Zyzzyxdonta alata is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Endodontidae.
Libera is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Endodontidae.
George Alan Solem, known professionally as Alan Solem, was an American malacologist, a biologist who studied mollusks.
Aaadonta constricta babelthuapi is a subspecies of land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Endodontidae. It is endemic to Palau, where it was previously known from Babeldaob and Ngemelis. It is now only known from Ngatpang. It is threatened by destruction or modification of its habitat.
Aaadonta constricta komakanensis is a subspecies of land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Endodontidae. It is endemic to Palau, where it was previously known from Koror, but has not been seen since 1936. If it is still extant, it is threatened by destruction or modification of its habitat.
Aaadonta fuscozonata depressa is a subspecies of land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Endodontidae. It is endemic to Palau, where it was only known from the tropical moist lowland forests of Peleliu. It is threatened by destruction and modification of its habitat.
Aaadonta fuscozonata fuscozonata is a subspecies of land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Endodontidae. It is endemic to Palau, where it was previously known from Koror, but has only recently been found on a few of the Rock Islands. It is threatened by destruction and modification of its moist lowland forest habitat.
Vatusila is a genus of land snail found in Oceania. It consists of five extant and one fossil species. Alan Solem described and named the genus in 1983.
Kleokyphus is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Endodontidae, an endemic family of land snails from the Hawaiian islands.
