The Moorean viviparous tree snail or sutural partula, Partula suturalis, is a species of tropical gastropod mollusk in the Partulidae family. It was endemic to French Polynesia.
It was previously listed as extinct in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species[1], but has been moved to extinct in the wild in the 2007 Red List[2]. This error was the result of changing taxonomy (the subspecies have been considered separate species before).
