Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Pomacea urceus (a snail, no common name) - Uncertain Risk

Species that are considered uncertain risk need a more in-depth assessment beyond the Risk Summary to better define the species’ risk to U.S. environments.

Pomacea urceus is an amphibious snail native to South America. This species has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. It has possibly been introduced to Asia, but no further information is available about the status of this introduction. No impacts of introduction of this species have been documented. Because further information is needed to determine the risk P. urceus poses to the contiguous United States, the certainty of this assessment is low, and the overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
