Micractaeon koptawelilensis is a species of land snail, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Achatinoidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). [4]
Micractaeon koptawelilensis is the only species in the genus Micractaeon. [3] Micractaeon is the type genus of the family Micractaeonidae, [4] and Micractaeon is the only genus in the family Micractaeonidae.[ citation needed] This family has no subfamilies. [4]
The distribution of Micractaeon koptawelilensis includes tropical Africa: Ghana, Cameroon, eastern and southeastern Zaïre, Malawi, eastern Zambia, [3] Uganda, [5] Kenya [5] and Tanzania. [5]
The type locality is Mount Elgon, Kenya. [3]
The width of the shell is 0.7-1.3 mm. [3] The height of the shell is 1.1-2.2 mm. [3]
Micractaeon koptawelilensis inhabits forests. [3] These snails are found in leaf litter samples. [3]
