Zonitoides patuloides is a species of small, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Gastrodontidae.

(Original description) The shell has about the size and form of Pyramidula striatella (J. G. Anthony, 1840) (synonym of Discus whitneyi (Newcomb, 1864) ).

The upper margin is flattened down and arched forward, as in Selenites or Gastrodonta elliotti and retracted at insertion.

It is much smaller than Gastrodonta elliotti Redf., with far larger, open umbilicus and heavier sculpture, recalling a Pyramidula.

[2] This species is found on the Thunderhead Mountain along the border between Tennessee and North Carolina, USA on mountainsides and ravines on moist leaves.
