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 was endemic to the island of Moorea, 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 since 2009.[1] This error was the result of changing taxonomy (the subspecies were previously considered to be separate species).
