Abstract
Condonella suciensis McLellan, 1927, from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Nanaimo Group of Washington State, USA, described as a presumed marine gast ropod of unknown taxonomic position and subsequently classified as an archa eogastropod, is a terrestrial pulmonate snail. Condonella McLellan, 1927, i s assigned to Eucalodiidae and interpreted as a Rat-coiling member of a cla de in which most members are high-spired and cylindrical. Straparollus lens Gabb, 1864, from the Chico Formation (Campanian) in central California, US A, is recognized as a pulmonate land snail and assigned to Megomphicidae. A second megomphicid species from the Chico Formation, Polygyroidca hiltoni, is described as new.
