Samoana attenuata

Samoana attenuata is a species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Partulidae. This species is endemic to French Polynesia.

Conservation
The slender snail was widespread in Society Islands. But in the late 1980s, carnivorous Euglandina rosea was introduced into Society Islands and this led to Samoana attenuata snails disappearing quickly. Populations on Raiatea were thought to be extinct until 2006.

Presently, the species is living on Raiatea, Tahiti, and Moorea. Unfortunately, the species is extinct on Bora Bora.

The species was one of few species of Partulids which was native in Bora Bora.
