About Neripteron vespertinum

Explicit Kauai locality is independently supported: the 2008 Wainiha watershed sheet and additional 2008 Kauai watershed sheets list Neritina vespertina; the 2021 review confirms the modern accepted combination and native Hawaiian ecology.

MolluscaBase/WoRMS AphiaID 875308 was inspected: source name Neripteron vespertinum; status accepted; accepted name Neripteron vespertinum.

The 2021 peer-reviewed review describes the species as euryhaline in coastal ponds, anchialine pools, stream mouths, and estuaries; WoRMS flags the accepted species freshwater.

Explicit island-level survey records, accepted taxonomy, and in-scope freshwater/estuarine ecology verify historical Kauai occurrence; no qualifying post-cutoff authoritative record was inspected.
