Gastrocopta (Albinula) armifera

Taxonomy:

Superfamily Pupilloidea

Family Vertiginidae

Gastrocopta (Albinula) armifera (Say 1821)

♦ Note: Some, or most records, of Gastrocopta armifera in Canada may be another species; Hubricht (1972, 1985), and many subsequent authors, have regarded the very similar Gastrocopta similis as a distinct species. Pilsbry (1948, LMNA) had treated this taxon as a form of G. armifera. Grimm (1996, Molluscs, Mixedwood Plains Ecosystem) suggests that most Ontario records of G. armifera refer instead to this species.
