Decorated Laminella Snail (Laminella picta)
The Decorated Laminella Snail was described in 1845; it is, or rather was, endemic to the island of Maui, Hawaiian Islands.
The shells reach sizes of about 1,43 to 1,6 cm in height; they mostly are opaque white and are decorated with small dark dots.
***
This is one of the few Hawaiian snail species of which we know at least a little something about the animal itself.:
“… densely black, surface checkered by fine lines of a light color; tentacles slate, much produced; mantle and bottom of foot brownish-black; when extended same length as the shell.” [1]
***
The species is now considered extinct.
