Rambling Conacmella Snail (Conacmella vagans)
This species was described in 1907; it is restricted to the Ogasawara Islands, Japan.
I could not yet find any additional information, and the species is mentioned here only because of the fact that its name appears in listings of extinct life forms.

syn. Acmella vagans Hirase

Electrina succinea ssp. orites Cooke & Clench
Smaller Electrina Snail (Electrina succinea ssp. orites)
This subspecies was described in the year 1943 on the basis of specimens, which were collected at the Mt. Perahu at elevations of about 365 to 548 m, and which differ from the nominate race.
The shells are smaller, thinner, and obviously distinctly colored.
