Aaadonta kinlochi is a species of snail,[3] a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Endodontidae. It is endemic to Palau,[4] where it was known from Angaur and Ulong Island. If it is still extant, it is threatened by the destruction and modification of its tropical moist lowland forest habitat.
