Parvedentulina is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Orthogibbinae of the family Streptaxidae.MolluscaBase eds. (2021). MolluscaBase. Parvedentulina Emberton & Pearce, 2000. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1253423 on 2021-12-14

94 species of Parvedentulina were known in 2002 although the majority of these species were described in 2002. An additional 6 new species of Parvedentulina were described in 2009, and a further 5 new species of Parvedentulina were described in 2010.

Distribution The genus Parvedentulina is endemic to Madagascar.Emberton K. C. (2002). "Parvedentulina and edentate Gulella of Madagascar (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora: Streptaxidae)". Archiv für Molluskenkunde 131(1/2): 67-165. abstract.

Description The shell of Parvedentulina is small. The spire is high. The shell has ribs on its surface. There are no teeth in the aperture.

Shells of Parvedentulina are similar to those of another streptaxid genus, Gulella.

Species Species within the genus Parvedentulina include:
