Platyla foliniana is a species of very small land snail in the family Aciculidae. It is endemic to France, where it is known only from Alpes-Maritimes.[1]
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.[1]
