Dear Scott After seeing Kurt Auffenbergs comments I went and had a look in my collection (at another address). Specimen Number 2 of the landsnails is not P griseola. However I came across 2 specimens from an old collection one labelled as Hemitrochus duclosianus and the other as Cepolis (Pplagiotycha) duclosianus. These 2 both have a strong denticle inside the bottom of the lip so are presumably Plagioptycha "duclosianus". Locality is given as only Bahamas - but they look identical to yours. Cannot vouch for the old name.
