Meridolum gulosum Gould, 1846 | |
Meridolum gulosum is a species of air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae. This species is endemic to Australia.
Type locality, originally given by Gould 1852 as “Illawarra, New South Wales”.
Meridolum gulosum is restricted to the rainforests and vine thickets of the Illawarra Escarpment south of Sydney. Ranging from Bulli Pass almost as far south as Wollongong. Meridolum gulosum is found under fallen palm fronds, wood, against rocks, bark and other debris and in leaf litter on the forest floor. [1]
Recent research has indicated that Meridolum marshalli is genetically no different from Meridolum gulosum. [2]

For thousands of years traditional owners called the river Deeban, however the colonial settlers renamed the river after Henry Hacking, a British seaman who killed Pemulwuy and was a pilot at Port Jackson in colonial New South Wales.

Meridolum corneovirens, also known as the Cumberland Plain Land Snail, is a species of air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae. This species is endemic to Australia. While little is known about the feeding habits of M. corneovirens, it appears to have a broad dietary range with a preference for fungi; it has also been reported as feeding on dead conspecifics.

Camaenidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea, the typical snails and their allies. This is one of the most diverse families in the clade Stylommatophora.
The sensory organs of gastropods include olfactory organs, eyes, statocysts and mechanoreceptors. Gastropods have no sense of hearing.
