| Amphibulima pardalina | |
Amphibulima pardalina is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Amphibulimidae.
Amphibulima pardalina is endemic to Dominica. [2] The type locality is Mount Kuliabon and Morne Diablotin, Dominica. [1]
Amphibulima pardalina is very restricted in range [2] and probably meet the IUCN-criteria of Critically Endangered species. [2] This species is restricted to higher localities. [2]
This rare species, considered by Henry Augustus Pilsbry (1899) [3] to be distinct on account of its coarse sculpture, can be found both as a light and a dark colour form. [2]
It was found in very damp and cool habitats in cloud forest at higher altitudes. [2]
Henry Augustus Pilsbry was an American biologist, malacologist and carcinologist, among other areas of study. He was a dominant presence in many fields of invertebrate taxonomy for the better part of a century. For much of his career, his authority with respect to the classification of certain substantial groups of organisms was unchallenged: barnacles, chitons, North American terrestrial mollusks, and others.
