Lyman’s Carelia Snail (Carelia lymani)
This species was described in 1931 based on a single [?] subfossil specimen.
The species was certainly endemic to the island of Kaua’i, Hawaiian Islands, as most of its other congeners; the exact location, however, is not known, the specimen was found in a private collection in a tray together with specimens of Pilsbry’s Carelia Snail (Carelia pilsbryi Sykes).
The single known shell is about 4,5 cm high. [1]
