Partula planilabrum is an extinct species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. Like other members of the genus Partula, it was a small arboreal snail adapted to life on vegetation in tropical environments. Species in this genus are best known for their restricted ranges and their importance in studies of evolution, biogeography, and conservation.
This species was endemic to Tahaa, French Polynesia. It is now extinct.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Partula planilabrum”, the useful work is to connect “species of mollusc” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5225366. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
