Dear Julien,
I would use Hubrick, L. 1984.  The distributions of the native land
mollusks of the eastern United States.  Fieldiana, Zoology, new series,
no. 24, i-viii +191pp.

Some Oligocene - Miocene strata in Nebraska yield at least one species
of "helicoid"  land snail of questionable generic assignment (it/they
were named by White, I believe, about 100 yrs ago)  (I have a big box of
them and will someday attempt to figure out what they really are) and
one species described by Bishop as a Caracolus, a camaenid genus
presently found only in the Greater Antilles, so also questionable...
But it could be...stranger things have happened....

Good luck, Kurtles
