Assessment Rationale:

There is insufficient information on distribution, population size and trend and threats to be able to assess this species in any category other than Data Deficient (DD).

Geographic Range:

This species is endemic to La Palma where it is mentioned only by Wollaston (1878) from Los Sauces and the Barranco de Herradura, and later as the synonym Helix palmicola and var. minor by Mabille in 1898 from Brena Baya. No extant shells were found by Klaus Groh, although sub-fossil shells were, and it was not re-found or mentioned by Ibanez and his colleagues (K. Groh, pers. com., 2011). There is no published data since 1898.
