Comments | After reviewing literature to find similar-sized native species in the area, I have concluded that this specimen appears to be P. antipodarium, as the spire height and number of whorls are characteristic of the species and not the native Pyrgulopsis of the area with shells more globular, exhibiting ~4 whorls and short spire heights.
