Partula suturalis Pfeiffer, 1855 |
Partula suturalis, common name the moorean viviparous tree snail or sutural partula, is a species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. This species is endemic to French Polynesia. It is now extinct in the wild. It was previously listed as extinct in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species[2], but has been moved to extinct in the wild in the 2007 Red List[3]. This error was the result of changing taxonomy (the subspecies have been considered separate species before).
