Taipidon marquesana was a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Charopidae. This species was endemic to French Polynesia; it is now extinct.
A species that is extinct in the wild (EW) is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as only consisting of living members kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range. Classification requires exhaustive surveys conducted within the species' known habitat with consideration given to seasonality, time of day, and life cycle. Once a species is classified as EW, the only way for it to be downgraded is through reintroduction.
