= 3011330N 08133687W. Phylogenetic
order; two highlighted taxa new to the Northeast Florida Checklist;
included are two additional species [indented] found on 10/19/03 but
not in drift sample: Helicina (Olygyra) orbiculata (Say, 1818) Carychium mexicanum Pilsbry, 1891 Southern Thorn Columella simplex (Gould, 1841) Toothless Column * Gastrocopta contracta (Say, 1822) Bottleneck Snaggletooth Gastrocopta corticaria (Say, 1817) Bark Snaggletooth ** Gastrocopta pellucida (Pfeiffer, 1841) Slim Snaggletooth Gastrocopta pentodon (Say, 1821) Comb Snaggletooth Gastrocopta rupicola (Say, 1821) Tapered Snaggletooth Gastrocopta tappaniana (C.B. Adams, 1841) White Snaggletooth Pupisoma dioscoricola (C.B. Adams, 1845) Yam Babybody Pupisoma mcneilli (Clapp, 1918) Gulf Babybody Vertigo milium (Gould, 1840) Blade Vertigo Vertigo oralis Sterki, 1898 Palmetto Vertigo Vertigo ovata Say, 1822 Ovate Vertigo Strobilops aeneus Pilsbry, 1926 Bronze Pinecone Strobilops hubbardi (A.D. Brown, 1861) Flattened Pinecone Strobilops texasianus Pilsbry & Ferriss, 1906 Southern Pinecone Helicodiscus notius notius Hubricht, 1962 Tight Coil Lucilla cf. singleyana (Pilsbry, 1889) cf. Smooth Coil Punctum minutissimum (Lea, 1841) Small Spot Glyphyalinia umbilicata (Singley in Cockerell, 1893) Texas Glyph Hawaiia alachuana (Dall, 1885) Southeast Gem Hawaiia minuscula (A. Binney, 1841) Minute Gem Striatura meridionalis (Pilsbry & Ferriss, 1906) Southern Striate Ventridens cerinoideus (Anthony, 1862) Wax Dome Zonitoides arboreus (Say, 1817) Quick Gloss Euconulus chersinus (Say, 1821) Wild Hive Guppya gundlachi (Pfeiffer, 1840) Glossy Granule Drymaeus dormani (Binney, 1852) Manatee Treesnail Lobosculum pustula (Férussac, 1832) Grooved Liptooth Polygyra cereolus (Mühlfeld, 1816) Southern Flatcoil Lamellaxis micrus (d'Orbigny, 1835) Tiny Awlsnail Non-native Species * One well-preserved adult shell only. This is a predominantly northern species which reaches the southern Appalachians at higher altitudes. However, Hubricht (1985) records C. simplex from Conecuh Co., AL, and Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH), which inherited the Hubricht Collection, has 12 specimens of Columella sp. (FMNH 235387; Hubricht! 1959) from Efaula, Barbour Co., AL. The Field also has 17 specimens thus labelled (FMNH 235388; Hubricht! 1959) from five miles W. of McBean, Richmond Co., GA. These AL records are from the Gulf Coastal Plain, and the GA lot is from the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Furthermore, Hubricht collected C. simplex from 11 localities (FMNH database) and five counties Hubricht (1985) in MS, all of which state lies in the Gulf Coastal Plain. Other records from the southeast U. S. include C. simplex from Chambers Co., AL (Piedmont) as well as White and Towns Cos. GA (Montane). Hubricht (1985) stated that C. simplex, somewhat belying its specific epithet, "is at least two species, probably three," so it is likely he considered the shells (he) labelled as "Columella sp." at the Field Museum to be different from the many he had labelled C. simplex from more northern localities. However, I can find no difference between this specimen and material collected in MA, VT, and ME. ** One well-preserved adult shell only. Although widespread in the eastern U. S., G. corticaria is very rare in Florida. Hubricht (1985) records it from Alachua and Marion Cos. The Florida Museum of Natural History (FLMNH) has a Columbia Co., FL record (UF 261838).
