Parvedentulina is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Orthogibbinae of the family Streptaxidae. [1] [2]
94 species of Parvedentulina were known in 2002 [1] although the majority of these species were described in 2002. [1] An additional 6 new species of Parvedentulina were described in 2009, [3] and a further 5 new species of Parvedentulina were described in 2010. [4]
The genus Parvedentulina is endemic to Madagascar. [1]
The shell of Parvedentulina is small. [1] The spire is high. [1] The shell has ribs on its surface. [1] There are no teeth in the aperture. [1]
Shells of Parvedentulina are similar to those of another streptaxid genus, Gulella . [1]
