Leptoxis torrefacta, or the squat rocksnail, is a species of freshwater snail in the family Pleuroceridae. This species was endemic to Alabama, the United States,[1][4] with records from the Coosa River.[3][2] It is now extinct,[1][2] presumably as a consequence of the impoundment of the Coosa River mainstem.[2]
The shell measures 15–20 mm (0.59–0.79 in) in length and 11–13 mm (0.43–0.51 in) in width.[3]
