About Pseudisidora rubella

Bishop Museum HBS checklist for Lymnaea rubella explicitly lists Kauai; the 2021 review recognizes the species but places the recently recorded other sinistral population on Oʻahu, not Kauaʻi.

Fresh WoRMS query accepts Pseudisidora rubella (AphiaID 724497) and bridges Lymnaea rubella.

Freshwater taxon; marine depth filter does not apply.

The historical island record is valid, but modern evidence does not support upgrading it to current on Kauaʻi.
