Amphidromus areolatus is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Camaenidae.[2]
Distribution
[edit]Distribution of Amphidromus areolatus include Attapeu Province and Champasak Province in southern Laos.[1]
Description
[edit]
The length of the shell attains 23 mm, its diameter 11 mm.
The sinistral shell is subperforate, and ovate-conic, appearing thin, striatulate, and somewhat glossy. Its color is buff-whitish, painted with brown flames that generally fork above. The spire is conic, with a minute, brown apex; the suture appears submarginate. Comprising six and a half moderately convex whorls, the body whorl is a little shorter than the spire and rounded beneath, featuring a roseate patch at the columella that is surrounded by a brown and a buff band. The columella appears somewhat swollen and slightly twisted. The aperture is oblique and inverted auriform; the peristome is thin and rather broadly expanded, with the columellar margin narrowly reflexed. [3]
Ecology
[edit]Amphidromus areolatus lives in dry dipterocarp forests.[1]
