Papustyla (Papuina) pulcherrima, the Green tree, Emerald green or Manus
Island tree snail, is endemic to Manus Island off northern Papua New Guinea.
 It's listed under schedule II of the CITES regulations which means that it's
not considered to be threatened with extinction at the moment but could
become threatened.
