About Leptachatina cuneata
Bishop Museum HBS explicitly lists Kauai; Régnier et al. (2015) explicitly reports this species among extant Amastridae recorded during recent field work on Kauai.
MolluscaBase/WoRMS AphiaID 1723538 treats Leptachatina cuneata as an accepted terrestrial species; the HBS binomial matches.
WoRMS flags the taxon as terrestrial (isTerrestrial=1), or the MNHN/HBS land-snail catalogues supply the terrestrial context; the record is within the land-mollusk census branch.
Explicit Kauai island occurrence and terrestrial taxonomy are verified, but the inspected locality evidence does not establish a living modern population; classified historical, not current.
