About Leptachatina costulosa
Bishop Museum HBS explicitly lists Kauai, and the MNHN type catalogue gives Kauaʻi as the type locality for lectotype MNHN-IM-2000-30821.
MNHN preserves the Pease 1870 name and type; the input lacks an inspected current accepted-name record, so the historical name is retained without a synonym claim.
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.
