Anoma dohrniana (Pfeiffer)

Dohrn’s Anoma Snail (Anoma dohrniana)  

Dohrn’s Anoma Snail was described in 1871.

The shells reach sizes of about 1,75 cm in length; they are subperforate, subfusiform, slender, smooth, glossy coffee-colored and bear a white band at their suture. [1]

The species was not found during recent searches and might well be extinct. [2]
