The shell of this species was used to make lei, like Partula varia from the same island.
This species was endemic to Huahine, French Polynesia. It was extinct in the wild, only existing in captivity. [1]
Half the world's population of this snail was within one room at a zoo in the UK. [3] In 2019 the species was reintroduced to the wild on Huahine. [4]
