This species was endemic to Ra'iātea, French Polynesia. It died out in 1996, and is now extinct.[1] The snail's low rate of movement made it hard to determine the exact date of death but it was confirmed on 31 January.[2] Partula turgida Shell of a Partula turgida Conservation status Extinct (IUCN 3.1)[1] Scientific classification Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Subclass: Heterobranchia Order: Stylommatophora Family: Partulidae Genus: Partula Species: †P. turgida Binomial name †Partula turgida(Pease, 1864) Partula turgida was being kept alive in captivity, when the population suffered a crash caused by the microsporidian genus Steinhausia.
