Partulina is a genus of tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Achatinellidae.

Description

[edit]

(Original description in German) The shell is typically perforated or slightly umbilicated, featuring an outer lip that is notably expanded. The columellar fold is situated high within the aperture, though it remains more or less indistinct.[2]

(Described in Latin as Partulina (Baldwinia) ) The shell is closely related to Partulina, but it differs in several key aspects. It is generally thinner in structure, featuring a peristome that is only slightly thickened and somewhat expanded. Most notably, it is distinguished by the complete absence of a twisted columellar fold.[3]
