Laminella sanguinea is a species of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonategastropod mollusks in the family Amastridae. The common name for this species is the Amastrid Land Snail. This species is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. More Specifically, the species are more commonly found in the Wai'anae Mountains on Oahu Island.

This species of amastrid land snail are hunted by three main predators. The first predator being rats also know as Rattus Rattus, Rattus Exulans, Rattus Nowegicus, second being Euglandina Rosea, and lastly chameleons or Chameleon Jacksonii. These snails are very slow at reproduction, causing them to be more rare and much more scarce.

This species is ground-dwelling and often has debris on its shell to camouflage itself. The Laminella Sanguea feeds on dead leaves and decaying plant materials for its nutrition. The biology of Laminella sanguinea is poorly known. Like many other Hawaiian land snail species, few living specimens have been found in recent years.
