Euglandina rosea is one of the demonstrated predators on extant populations of Hawaiian tree snails. By 1958, Euglandina was found in Makaki Heights [Oahu] with dead Achatinella (Kondo, field notes [Appendix II, RPFTOTSOTGA 1993]), Since its introduction, Euglandina rosea has spread to low and high elevations throughout the Koolau and Waianae Ranges [Oahu] and has been the cuase of the local extinction of many populations of Achatinella (field notes of Hadfield, Kondo, Christensen, and Chung [Appendix II, RPFTOTSOTGA 1993]. Euglandina rosea was introduced to Hawaii between 1955 and 1956 by the Hawaii State Department of Agriculture in an effort to control the African snail (Achatina fulica). Euglandina rosea is a voracious predator on other terrestrial and arboreal snails and is responsible for the extinction of all eight species of the tree snail genus Partulaet al., 1988).
