Amphibulima browni |
Amphibulima browni is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Amphibulimidae.
This rare tropical land snail is endemic to the West Indian island of Dominica. The snail has been seen only very rarely since it was first discovered in the late 19th century, and it may eventually be listed as an endangered species. The shell of this snail is oblong and thin, but not fragile, and it has a large aperture.
