Oreohelix carinifera, common name keeled mountainsnail, is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Oreohelicidae.

Original description

Oreohelix carinifera was originally described by Henry Augustus Pilsbry in 1912.[1] The type locality is Garrison, Montana, USA.

Pilsbry's original text (the type description) reads as follows:

{{Cquote|

OREOHELIX CARINIFERA, n. sp.

The shell is lenticular, carinate, umbilicate, the width of umbilicus

between a fourth and a fifth that of the shell, whorls 4½, slowly

increasing, the first 2½ strongly convex, obliquely striate, the striae

finer on the embryonic portion. Subsequent whorls are strongly

convex around the upper (inner) part, becoming concave near the

outer edge; the striation is rougher, and some weak traces of spiral

striae appear in places. The last whorl is noticeably concave above

and below the peripheral keel; it descends very slightly or not at

all in front, and on the base there are very inconspicuous, well

spaced spirals composed of granules. The oblique alt. and the

diameter of the aperture are equal, and there is a slight angle at the

termination of the keel.

Alt. 5, diam. 9.4 mm.; width of umbilicus 2 mm.; oblique alt. and

diam. of aperture 4 mm.

Garrison, Montana. Type and paratypes No. 99253 A. N. S. P.

Oreohelix alpina Elrod, which comes from high elevations (8,500

9,000 ft.) in the Mission Mountains, is about the size of this snail,

but the whorls are less convex, the convexity of the later ones is

simple, while in carinifera there is a concavity above the periphery.

O. alpina has no spiral sculpture or granulation, and the keel is less

pronounced. I regard such similarity as exists as due to convergence rather than to actual relationship. 0. hemphilli Nc. differs in

the sculpture and shape of the embryonic whorls.

O. carinifera is one of the smallest Oreohelices, the dimensions

given above being those of the largest shell out of about 20 in the

two lots seen. A very similar small form was taken with O. haydeni

in the Wasatch Mountains many years ago by the Wheeler Expedition, but I think it will prove to be distinct. Its exact location in

that range is not known, and it was not among the forms taken by Hemphill there.
