 Bulimulus shadowei 



Tropical pulmonate gastropod determined to be unique from Miami urban area. The shell is almost overtly black with a deep umbilicus and black aperture. The apex is also much sharper than most Bulimulus leading some to believe it could be Drymaeus. This shell was discovered without the animal, attached to a building in Miami Springs, FL. The specimen photographed is the only known specimen. None have been documented alive. Discovered in January 2014 the shell was believed to be a dark morph of Bulimulus guadalupensis but later identified as a unique species.
