Euglandina singleyana, common name the "striate glandina" or "striate wolfsnail",[1] is a species of predatory air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Spiraxidae.

Description

This snail has a golden-tan coloration, specially adapted mouthparts, and sensitive chemical receptors. It hunts and feeds in the same fashion as its larger congener, the rosy wolf snail, Euglandina rosea.

Euglandina singleyana is typically found in West Texas. It prefers areas of prairie and forest, under substrate of dead wood.
