Painted Snake Coiled Forest Snail (Anguispira picta) 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation

摘要

In conducting this 5-year review, we relied on available information pertaining to historic and current distributions, life history, and habitat of this species. Our sources include the final rule listing this species under the Endangered Species Act; the recovery plan; unpublished field observations by Service, State and other experienced biologists; unpublished survey reports; and notes and communications from other qualified biologists or experts. We published an announcement in the Federal Register requesting information on this species on September 20, 2005 (70 FR 55157) and a 60-day comment period was opened. No comments were received that provided new information concerning Anguispira picta. We distributed a draft of this document for peer review to the author of the species' Recovery Plan, a biologist for the Tennessee Division of Natural Areas, and three academicians with considerable malacological experience or experience working with members of the genus Anguispira.
