Partula nodosa is a species of partulid within the genus Partula. The species is sometimes referred to as the Tahitian nodular partula^[1], and is endemic to Tahiti.

Distribution

P. nodosa was found throughout Tahiti, but the wild populations quickly disappeared after the introduction of Euglandina.^[2]

Captive breeding

P. nodosa is in the international Partula breeding program and the conservation efforts for this species have been extremely successful, allowing reintroductions since 2015.^[3]

Phylogeny

Phylogenetic analyses found that P. nodosa is sister to a clade containing P. otaheitana crassa and an undescribed species.^[4]
