Platyla foliniana is a species of very small land snail in the family Aciculidae.MolluscaBase eds. (2022). MolluscaBase. Platyla foliniana (G. Nevill, 1879). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1001416 on 2022-01-26
Distribution
It is endemic to France, where it is known only from Alpes-Maritimes.
This species lives mainly in moist deciduous forest habitat under leaf litter and ivy. It may also occur in drier habitat with a Mediterranean climate. Little is known about the life history of the species; it is mainly recorded from dead specimens. These have been found at only four locations within a total range of 16 square kilometers. Increasing urbanization in the area may be a threat to the species.
