| Partula taeniata |
The Moorean viviparous tree snail Partula taeniata is a species of gastropod in the Partulidae family. It is endemic to French Polynesia.
It is listed as extinct in the 2007 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species [1], but should be listed as extinct in the wild, as three subspecies survive in captivity. This error may be the result of changing taxonomy (the subspecies have been considered separate species before).[original research?]
[edit] Subspecies
- Partula taeniata taeniata (extinct)[1]
- Partula taeniata elongata (extinct in the wild)[2]
- Partula taeniata nucleola (extinct in the wild)[3]
- Partula taeniata simulans (extinct in the wild)[4]
