Gotta be something cool. Land snail at base of tall limestone cliffs which provide a cooler, shadier microclimate. Deep cracks around they could hide in. Looks like Sonorelix borregoensis, but a good deal smaller in size. So I’m guessing the same genus.

Purchased from an old collection. Data slip indicated they were collected among vegetation in field along Hwy. 58 near Tehachapi, Kern County, CA.
Shells have incised sculpture indicative of the Charodotes subgenus. Both shells are relatively small 20 and 22mm.

Empty shells observed between granite boulders on rocky slopes. @cedric_lee @davegoodward I didn’t want to disturb the habitat by moving rocks but based on the empty shells observed in just 10 minutes looking between boulders I’d say this isolated hill supports a healthy colony!

Prettiest one of the day, found under plastic kiddie pool discarded in a culvert. :-) Or Bigtree Shoulderband Snail (Helminthoglypta napaea)? I cannot distinguish these @tlawson!

I believe these are Helminthoglypta salviae mina based on their diminutive size and flattened spire. Shells range between 15 - 17 mm. I’m just unsure if the species is found this far east of the type locality.
@cedric_lee @davegoodward Could any of you confirm the identity?

Three shells deep in talus within 5 feet of each other. The one on the right in photo 3 is very flat, while the one on the left has a high spire. That's a lot of variation in one local population. I doubt if there is more than one species there.

The spire is reduced on this shell compared to what I think of as Sonorelix rixfordi (the only Helminthoglyptidae that I see as being in this mountain range. It looks more like Eremarionta morongoana which is present one mountain range away.
Found exposed in a rocky wash.

Might be Eremarionta morongoana or close to it. Found in a transition area between morongoana and rowelli. Similar shells were just south of Chiriaco Summit.

I’ve been seeing a lot of these snails under logs but I don’t know what they are.
