@susanhewitt and @kueda - These are pictures of several individuals all found within about 30 feet of each other. Looking at the sources Ken-ichi posted (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/2435537) and any others I could find, I can't find any other members of this genus that would be found in the North Bay. These snails are certainly lighter colored than all of the black jugas that I've encountered. Have either of you come across any more info on this genus?
