Method Notes:
Prietocella barbara (=Cochlicella barbara) should be included when surveying for this genus.
Negative data for the genera Cernuella, Cochlicella, and Monacha can be entered at the genus level if no individuals of that genus are found in the sample and if the sampling method used will capture individuals of that genus if they are present in the environment from which that sample was taken. All species of these genera are exotic and not native to the U.S. All positives, regardless of genus, must be reported at the species level; no positive entries at the genus level are allowed.
