About Leptachatina haenensis
Bishop Museum Hawaii Biological Survey freshwater and terrestrial mollusk checklist explicitly lists Kauai in the island distribution.
MolluscaBase/WoRMS AphiaID 1724006 treats Leptachatina haenensis as an accepted terrestrial species; an HBS infraspecific source name, where present, is collapsed to species rank.
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 occurrence plus the authoritative extinction flag satisfy locality and extinction-status tests.
