Latia climoi is a species of small freshwater snail or limpet, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the family Latiidae. It is the holotype of its genus.
There is no fossil record of this species, genus, or family, so there is currently not enough information available to understand its exact evolutionary origins.
This species is endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. The holotype was collected from the Hutt River near Wellington. It is not clear from available sources whether this species is found anywhere else in New Zealand.
