Liguus fasciatus testudineus

Pilsbry, 1912

Collected at Brickell Hammock, Miami, Florida.
This specimen is similar to the the testudineus holotype and was collected
at the type locality. Brickell Hammock was one of the largest in South Florida
and is now a 2 acre park. Of the 13 distinguishable forms enumerated by
Simpson, none are found in what is left of the hammock. The testudineus has
a variable but distinct color cline ranging from melanistic to light color
specimens and predominantly white apex, however a few specimens with a
pink apex do occur within certain populations.

Liguus fasciatus septentrionalis

Pilsbry, 1912

This shell is from Yamato Hammock in Palm Beach County and is the northernmost
extension of the natural range of the Liguus in Florida. The snail is extinct in its native
habitat but survives in transplanted colonies in the Everglades National Park. This snail
is unlike all of the other Florida Liguus and seems to have evolved from one
of the early landings on the mainland. It was found in pure colonies,
from Ft.Lauderdale north to Palm Beach County and distant from other hammocks
inhabited by Liguus in Broward County
