Partula meyeri Samoana meyeri species of tropical , air-breathing land snail , a terrestrial , pulmonate , gastropod mollusc in the family Partulidae .[1] [2]
Etymology [ edit ]
The species is named in honour of its discoverer, Jean-Yves Meyer.[3]
Distribution and habitat [ edit ]
P. meyeri is known only from Mount Tefatua (also called Mount Toomaru), the highest peak on the island of Raiatea in the Society Islands , French Polynesia . The holotype and two other specimens, the only ones recorded so far, were collected in a wet gulch at about 950 metres (3,120 ft ) elevation, just below the mountain summit.[1] [3] [4] aestivating on the leaves of montane vegetation; the typical daytime behaviour and habitat of Society Island partulids.[1]
Description [ edit ]
P. meyeri has a conical spire , evenly rounded whorls , and a brown, translucent shell with whorls terminating in a large, oval aperture (2 3 peristome . The shell measures approximately 16.5 mm (0.65 in ) in length and 10.5 mm (0.41 in ) in width.[3]
