Zophos baudoni is a species of air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Haplotrematidae.

Distribution

Guadeloupe[1] - Zophos baudoni was described by Petit de la Saussaye from Guadeloupe.[1]
Dominica[1] - Robert John Lechmere Guppy (1868)[2] expressed some doubts whether the Dominican specimens belonged to species Zophos baudoni.[1] Ramnath & Fields (2002)[3] were of the same opinion, considering it possibly new to science.[1]

Ecology

Zophos baudoni lives on the rainforest floor.[1]

It is carnivorous and it feeds on earthworms and immature Pleurodonte specimens.[1]

gollark: See, according to this paper I read, an efficient (stock) market with an extra feature can have 3-SAT encoded in it, thus making it be FORCED to solve NP-thingy problems rapidly.

gollark: As if you would know.

gollark: Sorry for the inconvenience.

gollark: Yes, we *are* utilizing the efficient market hypothesis against you.
