Gulella systemanaturae

Gulella systemanaturae is a species of minute air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Streptaxidae.

Gulella systemanaturae was described by Adolph Cornelis van Bruggen in 2008 based on collections from 1975 in Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren, Belgium and 1985 collection in Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum, Leiden.[1]

The specific name systemanaturae was given in honor of the 250th anniversary of the publication of Linnaeus’ book, Systema Naturae.[1]
