The Kingman springsnail (Pyrgulopsis conica) is a species of freshwater snail in the family Hydrobiidae, the mud snails. It is endemic to Mohave County, Arizona, in the United States.[2]
It lives in aquatic habitat in the Black Mountains near Kingman, Arizona. It is known from only three springs,[3] where it may be threatened by loss of groundwater. A single drought event could threaten the entire population of the species.[1]
