Small Minidonta Snail (Minidonta perminima)  

This species was described in 2000 based on subfossil shells that were found at Gahutu Tenohu at the north coast of Mangareva, Gambier Islands, at a site covered with introduced herbs and Coconut palms (Cocos nucifera L.).  

The shells reach an average size of about 0,16 cm in diameter. [1]
