Beddomeia krybetes is a species of very small freshwater snail that has a gill and an operculum, an aquatic operculate gastropod mollusk in the family Tateidae. It was first described in 1993 by Winston Ponder, G.A. Clark, Alison Miller and A Toluzzi.[2]

This species is endemic to Tasmania, and known only from its type locality, where it is found in freshwater under large, stable rocks where the stream has a strong flow.[3]
