Description
I was looking for the near-mythical Helminthoglypta liodoma near the Kern River, but found instead Helminthoglypta cypreophila kernensis. Heavily malleated shell like Southern Shoulderband. In fact, this snail was first described by Berry as a subspecies of Southern Shoulderband. Also at the site were shells of Helminthoglypta berryi, but I was unable to find a live one. I returned at night but was kicked out by a security guard who was probably employed to protect the nearby solar array, but was adamant that the entire area is under his protection. I also searched the nearby type locality for H. berryi but found no shells and no snails. This is on the road up to Round Mountain through abandoned oil fields and grazing land, and everything was fenced so I was restricted to the road berms.

By location in Erskine Canyon, just east of the town of Lake Isabella, Kern County, this should be Helminthoglypa stageri, but I am not confident of the taxonomy of the snails in this area. It might be H. isabella, or perhaps the two are synonymous. It is a subadult, and was out around midnight, 45º F. (photo from the next morning)

This is the common species in Caliente Canyon in Kern County. It is probably undescribed. The dark body is partly a photographic artifact - when it is stretched out the body is paler. This one was in the same area as H. berryi.

Round Mountain Road. Found crawling on the road at night following rains. A second individual was on a dirt bank in a small side gully near the road. This is near the type locality, and consists of grassy hills with soil derived from volcanic ash and sand.

One lone individual revealed itself when the clouds started to break things up. Short flights - I chased it around for a while before it flew off into the pickleweed.

Abundant along a small stretch of the stream coming from Point of Rocks Spring. Two snail species are endemic to this spring Tyronia elata and Pyrgulopsis erythropoma. Based on Hershler and Sada (1987), this snail is Pyrgulopsis erythropoma.
