I couldn't find any detail on the source of the land snail identifications in the Price and Webb paper so I'm treating that one with just a little degree of caution, given the long history of unrelated punctids being lumped under caputspinulae in Australia.

There's a bunch of snails I refer to as "coast snails", but they're a slightly different matter - I don't know how common this sort of habitat preference is worldwide but we have some species (punctids mostly) that are completely terrestrial, but always or usually occur along the coast (for instance under shrubbery on rocks above high tide, or on sand dunes).
