The Fish and Wildlife Service is removing the Kanab ambersnail (Oxyloma haydeni kanabensis), a snail found in Utah and Arizona, from the Endangered Species List, it said in a final rule released June 17. “Our review indicates that the Kanab ambersnail is not a valid subspecies and therefore cannot be listed as an endangered entity under the Endangered Species Act,” FWS said. The delisting takes effect July 19.
