Assessment Rationale:

There is insufficient information on distribution, population size and population trends to assess this species against IUCN Red List criteria. There are no published records since 1932. Consequently it is assessed as Data Deficient.

Geographic Range:

This species is endemic to Gran Canaria. Numerous synonyms were given by Mabille in 1882 and 1883 for the Gran Canaria population, but without localized data (except for Helix bathycoma – Telde). Therefore it is possible that the species was formerly more widespread in cultivated areas and the Piso basal (Odhner 1932 mentions Lomos de Catola, Jinamar, Telde and Agüimes). However, there have been no publications since 1932, and the taxon was not not refound or mentioned by Ibanez and his colleagues, not found by K. Groh (K. Groh, pers. comm., 2011).
