Samoana meyeri) is a species of tropical, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial, pulmonate, gastropod mollusc in the family Partulidae.
[1] [2] The species is named in honour of its discoverer, Jean-Yves Meyer.
The holotype and two other specimens, the only ones recorded so far, were collected in a wet gulch at about 950 metres (3,120 ft) elevation, just below the mountain summit.
[1][3][4] The three snails were observed aestivating on the leaves of montane vegetation; the typical daytime behaviour and habitat of Society Island partulids.
[1] P. meyeri has a conical spire, evenly rounded whorls, and a brown, translucent shell with whorls terminating in a large, oval aperture (2⁄3 the shell length) that has a thin, expanded peristome.
