Elimia gibbera, the shouldered elimia, is a species of freshwater snails in the family Pleuroceridae. This species was endemic to Alabama, the United States, [1] [4] with records from the Coosa River. [3] [2] It is now considered extinct, [1] [2] the attributed cause is land-use change. [5] Already in 1936, Calvin Goodrich wrote that "To a large extent, the goniobasic fauna of the Coosa Biver must be spoken of in the past tense". [3]

Description

The shell in adults measures 17–20 mm (0.67–0.79 in) in length and 9–11 mm (0.35–0.43 in) in width. [3]

Elimia is a genus of freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Pleuroceridae. Various species are found in creeks throughout much of the eastern and central United States and the Great Lakes region of Canada.
