Henry Edward Crampton was an American evolutionary biologist and malacologist who specialized in land snails. Crampton undertook the first major study of evolution in nature in his research in the Society Islands. Crampton made twelve separate expeditions over the course of his career to Moorea near Tahiti to study the land snail genus Partula, while years more were spent measuring and cataloguing his specimens. In all, he dedicated nearly half-a-century to the study.
Eua zebrina is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Partulidae. This species is endemic to American Samoa.
†Partula aurantia, common name the Moorean viviparous tree snail, was a species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. This species was endemic to French Polynesia. It is now extinct.
Partula guamensis is a species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae.
Partula suturalis, common name the moorean viviparous tree snail or sutural partula, is a species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. This species was endemic to the island of Moorea, French Polynesia. It is now extinct in the wild. It was previously listed as extinct in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, but has been moved to extinct in the wild since 2009. This error was the result of changing taxonomy.
Partula taeniata, common name the Moorean viviparous tree snail, is a species of terrestrial gastropod in the Partulidae family. It is endemic to French Polynesia.
†Partula turgida was a species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. This species was endemic to Ra'iātea, French Polynesia. It died out in 1996, and is now extinct. The snail's low rate of movement made it hard to determine the exact date of death but it was confirmed on 31 January.
Samoana is a genus of tropical, air-breathing, land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Partulidae.
Samoana attenuata is a species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. This species is endemic to French Polynesia.
Achatinellidae is a family of tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Pupilloidea.
Partulidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Partuloidea. The family is endemic to Pacific islands.
Partula is a genus of air-breathing tropical land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Partulidae. Many species of Partula are known under the general common names "Polynesian tree snail" and "Moorean viviparous tree snail". Partulids are distributed across 5,000 sq mi (13,000 km2) of Pacific Ocean islands, from the Society Islands to New Guinea.
Eua montana is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae.
Eua globosa is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. It is endemic to the island of 'Eua, Tonga.
Eua expansa is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae.
Samoana bellula, common name the "Polynesian tree snail", is a species of tropical, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial, pulmonate, gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. This species is endemic to Ua Pou, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.
Samoana cramptoni is a species of tropical, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial, pulmonate, gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. It is endemic to the island of ʻEua, Tonga.
Samoana decussatula, common name the "Polynesian tree snail", is a species of tropical, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial, pulmonate, gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. This species is endemic to Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. It has also been recorded from the neighbouring island of Tahuata, but its presence there has not been confirmed.
Vatusila is a genus of land snail found in Oceania. It consists of five extant and one fossil species. Alan Solem described and named the genus in 1983.
