Galadistes pilligaensis Family Camaenidae is found in the Pilliga Scrub and Warrumbungle Range. Helen Cross would you like to post this on the 'Snails of Australasia' Facebook group ?

MazzV thanks so much. Will do. This species is quite variable in colour. Most are light brown with a darker brown spiral band. Some lack the spiral band and others are dark brown all over. They may have either a bright pink or white outer lip when mature. Always nice to see this NSW endemic species.
