Charopinesta suavis, also known as the sweet pinhead snail, is a species of land snail that is endemic to Australia's Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea.[1]

Description

The depressedly turbinate shell of the mature snail is 1.4 mm in height, with a diameter of 2.6 mm, and a low, stepped spire. It is golden amber in colour. The whorls are slightly rounded, with impressed sutures and fine, very closely spaced radial ribs. It has a roundedly lunate aperture and moderately widely open umbilicus. [1]

Distribution and habitat

This extremely rare snail is only been recorded by a single shell collected from the summit of Mount Lidgbird and may be extinct.[1]
