Partulina perdix, formerly known as Achatinella perdix,[3] is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Achatinellidae. This species is endemic to Maui, Hawaii, which is in the United States.[4]
Description
Distribution and habitat
Partulina perdix are endemic to Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. They are found across Panaewa to Honolua, and Hanaula to Puu Kukui, but originally resided in Lahaina, Huelo, Olinda and Waihee, Maui.[2] Partulina perdix live in terrestrial and arboreal habitats.[2][3]
Conservation status
These snails are a priority species and therefore are under the care of the snail extinction prevention program.[5] Along with other Hawaiian tree snails, they are critically endangered.[6]
