| Placostylus ambagiosus lesleyae Powell, 1947 |
Placostylus ambagiosus lesleyae is an extinct large terrestrial gastropod mollusc in the family Bulimulidae, endemic to the Cape Reinga area of Northland in the North Island of New Zealand.
This subspecies is apparently directly ancestral to Placostylus ambagiosus paraspiritus. It has the same rounded outer lip callus but has a stronger development of the two outer-lip processes, as well as the basal lip tubercle.
Height is up to 83 mm, and width up to 36 mm.
