Range & habitat
The snail is endemic to the island of Saint Helena, where it has been mainly recorded high up in the wet, mountainous cloud forests of the central ridge. It is often found on Saint Helena tree ferns and jellico plants. However, a specimen has also been observed on a gumwood tree in lower elevations.
