Auriculella perpusilla is a species of tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks. This species is endemic to Hawaii.
Auriculella perpusilla is incredibly small, most adult shells reaching a height of around 6 millimeters. [2] Their thin shell has 5 strongly convex whorls with low spires and weakly reflected apertures. [2]
This species is endemic to the island of Oahu, Hawaii. In the past, Auriculella perpusilla inhabited wide parts of Eastern and North-Eastern Oahu throughout the Koolau Mountain Range. [2] This land snail was prevalent in the wet, rain-abundant forest-mountain regions. Today, this species has been only recorded in a specific mountain region near Honolulu. [2]
