Aaadonta

Aaadonta is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Endodontidae.

[8][9] For animal genera, the first alphabetically listed name is Aaaaba, which is a genus of beetles from Australia.

The current conservation status, according to the IUCN Red List, varies depending on species, though they all fall into the larger category of being threatened.

[10] One cause of a low population stated by Solem could be that ant colonies that come into the area can prey on eggs of the various species, thus wiping out a large number of snails, potentially without harming the adult snails.

Some species were found living on dead plants and low levels of trees, as well as on the moss of some boulders.
