Draparnaudia is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Partuloidea.
Draparnaudia is the only genus in the family Draparnaudiidae.
Both the family name and the genus name of these snails were created to honor the 18th century French malacologist Jacques Philippe Raymond Draparnaud.
Distribution
This genus is endemic to New Caledonia, in Melanesia and - probably introduced - to Vanuatu.
