Abstract: In this paper, we report the presence of living individuals of Clatripoma conoidea (L. Pfeiffer, 1846), Pomatiidae, for the first time on Reunion island (Mascarene archipelago). The species, previously known only from subfossils on the island, has been observed in two dry habitat relics. The discovery of live C. conoidea are exceptional and stress the need for urgent conservation action to protect native habitats and the species that depend on them.
