The Stock Island tree snail historically occurred on the islands of Stock Island and Key West, both from which it has been largely extirpated from its historic range. In response to the loss of habitat and decline in the number of snails on Stock Island, collectors have moved snails and introduced them to areas outside of their historic range. The few remaining populations have continued to decline as a result of further habitat loss and other threats.
