Roblinella is a monotypic genus of small land snails in the family Charopidae. The sole species is Roblinella roblini,[2] also known as Roblin's pinwheel snail. It is endemic to Tasmania.[3]
Other species formerly included in Roblinella have been transferred to other genera.[2] However, Bonham (2007) pointed to existence of other, undescribed species that could be Roblinella roblini's closest relatives.[4]
