I know it’s probably not this, but I assume it is related and will get someone’s attention lol. In a very steep, rocky limestone canyon/slope.

Found with Dave Goodward on Otay Mountain. We found a total of six Anadenulus cockerelli, but this one was much darker than the others we found, so we aren't sure if it is something different.

Igneous rock field atop a ridge. 4 shells total found, 0 live specimens.

In range for Helminthoglypta micrometalleoides. We had misinterpreted the type locality of this species in Miller 1970, and hence ended up at this habitat. Pretty shocked to find snails of any form here, period.

Grapevine Shoulderband Snail (Helminthoglypta uvasana)

Place

Description

Empty shell under blue oak log (a few grey pine also present). Did not have lighter yellowish "borders" adjacent to the dark band like H. traskii. Diameter 19 mm, height 16 mm, nice sculpturing. No other live snails, shells or fragments seen. Suspect H. uvusana, but could be new location (on iNat at least) for H. tejonensis or H. traskii.

Very similar to, and closest to, this observation by @ocean_beach_goth https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/47121319 and also looks like this observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/192299006 by @chilipossum.

Location is private to protect sensitive species (including this one!) seen that day. General area is NW Angeles National Forest, W of I-5 and S of Gorman.

@tlawson @cedric_lee @jannvendetti @davegoodward @pliffgrieff @chloe_and_trevor Thought you all might be interested in this one.

A very tentative/hopeful Maybe? Fragment found in dry creekbed about 7 miles miles from Colson Canyon close to Hwy 166. Possibly too far north for Zaca? What do you think @davegoodward @thomaseverett @tomlawson ? I'm not too familiar with SB county snails, so whatever you can suggest would be great.

@chilipossum was with me and may have additional photos if that helps.
