Powelliphanta is a genus of large, air-breathing land snails, pulmonate gastropods in the family Rhytididae, found only in New Zealand. They are carnivorous, eating invertebrates, mostly native earthworms. Often restricted to very small areas of moist forest, they are prey to introduced mammalian predators, and many species are threatened or endangered.
Powelliphanta marchanti is a species of land snail in the family Rhytididae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Powelliphanta augusta or the Mount Augustus snail, previously provisionally known as Powelliphanta "Augustus", is a species of large, carnivorous land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Rhytididae. Naturally occurring only on Mount Augustus near Westport on New Zealand's South Island, their entire habitat was destroyed by coal mining. The world population was taken into captivity, in theory until their habitat was restored and they could be released. The mining company concerned went bankrupt and habitat restoration has been unsuccessful, so the species' future is uncertain.
This is a yet-unnamed Powelliphanta species, provisionally known as Powelliphanta "Nelson Lakes". This is one of the amber snails. It is an undescribed species of large, carnivorous land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Rhytididae. The area above the bush line on Mount Murchison in the Braeburn Range is one of three isolated habitats for this species.
The New Holland mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It was first described by George Waterhouse in 1843.

Beddomeia capensis is an aquatic operculate gastropod mollusk, a species of very small freshwater snail that has a gill and an operculum, in the family Hydrobiidae. The species is classified as endangered and known to be endemic to five streams within a relatively small area on the island state of Tasmania, Australia. However, recent surveys have only been able to locate Beddomeia capensis in two small streams on Table Cape, with the total length of inhabited stream less than 80 metres (260 ft).
Bischoffena bischoffensis is a species of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Charopidae. This species is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. It has been recorded from nine sites and there may be more but the species is not easily accessible. The population is unknown and whether it is declining or not as habitat loss for agriculture and forestry in some parts may have affected the species of a few percent in the past 200 years. Life history is also unknown but it may have a short lifespan.
Boucardicus fortistriatus is a species of land snail with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Cyclophoridae.
