The Franklin Mountain woodland snail (Ashmunella pasonis) is a species of land snail in the family Polygyridae. It is native to New Mexico and Texas in the United States.[2]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]The snail has a limited range in two isolated mountain ranges, but it is a common species within this range. The snail lives in open rocky mountain habitat[2] and is only found in accumulations of limestone talus.[3]
Reproduction
[edit]This species appears to have the capability of hybridizing with two other species: Ahmunella kochii sanandresensis and A. harrisi.[3]
