Stenotrema cohuttense, also known as the Cohutta slitmouth, is a rare, range-restricted species of pulmonate land snail in the family Polygyridae.
Its shell is imperforate and thin, reddish-brown, and densely covered in fine, short hairs typical of species in the Stenotrema genus.
[2] Cohutta slitmouths are commonly found in leaf litter in mixed hardwood forests along ravines, hillsides, and limestone outcroppings.
[3][4][5] Due to its limited range and habitat removal in Tennessee and Georgia, the Cohutta slitmouth is very likely in decline.
This decline will likely only be further exacerbated by climate change increasing the frequency of droughts and heatwaves that desiccate and kill snails.
