Description
English: Newcomb's tree snail Newcombia cumingi on a Metrosideros polymorpha. A member of the family Achatinellidae and the endemic Hawaiian subfamily Achatinellinae, is known only from the island of Maui. All members of this species have sinistral (left-coiling), oblong, spindle-shaped shells of five to seven whorls that are coarsely sculptured. Newcomb’s tree snail reaches an adult length of approximately 0.8 in (21 mm) and its shell is mottled in shades of brown that blend with the bark of its native host plant, Metrosideros polymorpha or the ohia tree.
