Amastra subsoror

Amastra subsoror was a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Amastridae. The species was endemic to Maui, and was described by George W. Tryon and Henry A. Pilsbry in their 1911 Manual of Conchology. It was last observed in 1946,[2] and is thought to have gone extinct due to the introduction of predators to its habitat, the destruction of its habitat, and overcollecting.[3]
