Justification: Bulimulus hemaerodes is endemic to Isabela and Fernandina Islands in the Galápagos Islands. It was not found alive over the past three years of collecting on Galápagos Islands. However, only one full week was spent collecting on Isabela Island and one week on Fernandina Island, so the species' presence may have been overlooked. The range of suitable habitat available for this species is less than 5,000 km². However, number of known locations on the islands is unknown. |
|
| Range Description: | Bulimulus hemaerodes is endemic to the Galápagos Islands of Isabela and Fernandina (4,588 km² and 642 km² respectively). The range of suitable habitat for this species is less than 5,000 km². |
